Thank you Brian for sharing your skills with our members. We look forward to more chess classes in the future.
"What a wonderful Term 3!
I’ve had such a wonderful time running my very first Beginners’ Chess course at U3A this term. It’s been a real pleasure sharing the game with my “students” and watching everyone learn, have a go, and gain confidence along the way. I hope they’ve picked up a few useful skills — and perhaps even a little enthusiasm for the game!
We’ve certainly shared plenty of laughs, a few challenging moves, and hopefully discovered that chess can be every bit as much about having fun as it is about strategy.
If you’ve ever had an idea for a course you’d like to share with others, I really can’t encourage you enough to make some enquiries and give it a go. You don’t have to be an expert, just having something you’re passionate about and enjoy sharing can be enough.
It’s been such a rewarding experience, and I’m so glad I took that first step. Who knows… perhaps there’s a future U3A tutor just waiting to discover their own course idea!"
