Fantastic to see Ray Dolan of Bloxwich Junior Chess Academy & Club at RyeCroft be presented with the Staffordshire Chess Association's Sports Personality of the Year Award.
It was great to see the recognition he deserves for the great work he does to help young people learn to play chess.
Ray is also helping to mentor the chess coaches of the future, including Amrisa Kaur Johal who gave me a few tips following her appointment as a Junior Chess Coach.
Ray's wife Eunice was there (as always) making sure the event ran smoothly.
The Bloxwich Junior Chess Academy meet each Saturday at Ryecroft Community Hub from 10 - 11.30am.
