Lake Huron ProAm 2022
Lake Huron Chess Club's annual fall tournament returns on the weekend of October 22-23. after two years of pandemic-induced delays. Hal Bond (arbiter for the event) and I (Jeremy) are excited to see you in Port Elgin again! You can visit the tournament website for registration and event details. Updates and registrations lists will be posted on the website and in this thread. Our first event was held in the fall of 2020 and inspired us to schedule another for mid-March 2020 - you can imagine how that turned out. But now we're keen to get back on the horse (knight?) and host players from across the province in beautiful Port Elgin.
Venue
Port Elgin-Saugeen Central School
504 Catherine Street, Port Elgin, ON
Tournament Details
Saturday: 10:00am, 2:00pm , 6:30pm
Sunday: 10:00am, 2:30pm
Snacks and coffee will be provided free throughout the weekend.
Registration
Visit the website to register. Registration fees and payments will be handled by Hal Bond. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to ask them here or to submit them through the contact form. An active CFC membership or the single-tournament fee will be required. CFC renewals and registrations can be handled at the event if need be.
Registrations fees are as follows:
The Saugeen Shores Area
Both Port Elgin and Southampton (the two towns that make up Saugeen Shores) have a number of excellent food options, including independent and chain restaurants. If you prefer individual accommodations, there are many cottages and AirBnB locations available in the area.
in lieu of a formal group rate announcement yet, the Holiday Inn in town is new and I've heard good things about it. There's also the Super 8 which has an indoor, year-round pool and standard hotel accommodations.
Located on the shores of Lake Huron, the area boasts significant natural beauty, and, if weather and time permit, several gorgeous beaches. The Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre is found 5 minutes away in Southampton, and is an excellent destination between rounds if you have a short game, or if you have additional kids/family members coming with you. Port Elgin also has a number of great parts for outdoor relaxation and fun.
