Children's News: Saturday Chess lessons

image

We have teamed up with the chess school, Club Echecs du Cavalier Rouge, to provide chess lessons for children on Saturdays. A chess instructor will give chess lessons and organise mini-tournaments. There will be two sessions: 10 am to noon and 1 - 3 pm. Email children@saclub.org for more information or to sign up! While lessons started on 1 February, there was a pause for the holidays and lessons resumed on Saturday, 8 March.
If you have signed up for the initial 8 weeks of chess, please pay the €30 fee via this HelloAsso link (if you haven’t already): https://www.helloasso.com/associations/standard-athletic-club/evenements/chess-the-sac
There is also an option for adults, please let us know if you are interested by emailing children@saclub.org.

SAC Tennis Survey 2025 - let us know your views about tennis at the club.

image

Welcome to the SAC 2025 Tennis Survey, following our inaugural questionnaire in 2019.
The aim of this anonymous survey is to canvas members’ opinions about all things related to tennis at the club, from our preferred playing options to the booking system and potential investment we need to further improve the tennis courts.
We have grouped the questions by themes and the whole survey should take around 10 minutes to complete.
The deadline to complete the survey is Monday 10 March.
We will collate and analyse the answers as soon as possible and communicate them to the Management Committee and members.
Here is the link: SAC 2025 Tennis Survey. (Or use the QR code in the main article)
Thank you! The Tennis Committee
