CCI meeting German Section 2014 - Weimar Nov. 7 - 9
Invitation to the German CCI meeting in Weimar - Nov. 7 - 9 / 2014 July 29th, 2014
Dear Members and Friends of CCI,
we fondly remember the recent CCI Meeting in Munich with numerous attendants from Germany and abroad. The International Congress in New York was attended by a large number of members from Germany. This year we plan to meet in Weimar, many German and some overseas Members have already signalled their participation.
This time the meeting will be held in cooperation with the “Ken Whyld Association” a group dedicated to the collection of chess books.
Today I cordially invite you and your friends to spend a chess weekend in Weimar, the City of Schiller and Goethe from November 7th to 9th , 2014.
As in previous years we will have a chess market for about 2 hours in the hotel. Please bring chess items for sale or exchange and inform us in order to arrange for sufficient space. To cover the room cost a small contribution of EUR 10 – 15 per table will be collected. The chess market will take place in the library of the hotel that features a large number of small elephants. It would be nice if our members could bring one or more chess elephants to supplement the collection at least on a temporary basis.
A very special event will be the presentation of the highlights of the Mathieu and Ine Kloprogge collection that will be auctioned off by A. Klittich-Pfankuch, Brunswick, on November 20th and 22nd, 2014
We were able to negotiated special rates for us in the traditional 5-star hotel “ELEPHANT”.
