The final weekend of the 2011 Junior 4 Nations Chess League season took place on the weekend of 9th-10th April.

 

We were pleased to be able to hold this event at the Barcelo Daventry, who made us feel extremely welcome and provided us with the excellent facilities we have come to expect from the Barcelo hotels.

 

This hotel has 155 bedrooms. Surrounded by   villages and towns, it's within reach of Warwick and Northampton.
