Any chess parents around? My youngest seems to have taken to it, and his school team have just entered a local league. Wondering about local clubs, but this is a whole new world to me.

Try googling English Chess Federation. They have details of all the junior Clubs (apologies if you are not in England!). If you have a local junior club they will be able to tell you all about tournaments for the right age group - school, county or national. Our local club is brilliant and takes kids from 4: all the kids absolutely love it.

Thanks! Found our local club, so we'll give it a go.

Grassroots - we found a club, and took him along for a taster session. He really enjoyed it so we're going back next week. Standard is very high, so he'll get some great coaching.
