Our History

  • Two years ago, we combined efforts to re-establish the Newport Tournament and called it ‘The Newport Chess Congress’. Our first tournament was held at Lysaght’s Institute (Corporation Road) and was a successful tournament as players from around the Country came to support us. Our second tournament was held last year at Rougemont School (Malpas Rd).

Beneficiaries

  • Community

    The community will benefit greatly what ever generation young or old. It will bring people of any background together in a cohesive and friendly environment to play chess.

Our Vision for a better future

  • We know there is an appetite for chess in Gwent and surrounding districts (including other parts of Wales and the West of England). We would like to see all generations come together in a community which thrives and enriches, and we know that an activity like chess can achieve that goal.

Our goals to make a difference

  • We would like to see all generations come together in a community which thrives and enriches, and we know that an activity like chess can achieve that goal.

  • The younger generation can feel excluded from activities and fall into a negative lifestyle; however, we believe strongly that chess brings people together.

  • Chess activities promote concentration and help people manage with the stresses of life thereby promoting a positive mental outlook.

  • We want people to having a feeling of inclusion and we believe we can achieve this.
