After the request for extra chess sets was sent out a fortnight ago Mr Connolly and Mr Davis would like to thank the William Howard community for their tremendous generosity. As well as beautiful glass set and a giant outdoor set, which is perfect for teaching chess techniques, we have been gifted a hand painted set with pieces based on historical Japanese characters. Especial thanks must go to Sam McStay, an ex William Howard Student who joined the school in 2005 and remembered playing chess with Mr Connolly through his years here. Sam donated six new chess sets to the club and students began enjoying them for the first time this week!
