I'm setting up a few outdoor blitz tables in Westboro (Ottawa), this Saturday October 11th from 1pm-4pm.

This event is part of the Westboro Village's Autumn Celebration - the Animated Sidewalk Sale, which will include a whole host of professional and amateur street performers. Details can be found here.

I will be set up in the courtyard in front of All Saints Anglican (across from the Mountain Equipment) from 1pm-4pm Saturday afternoon.

I am fully equipped (boards, sets, clocks, etc.) but I would appreciate it if a few of the local chess players could show up to challenge the public to some blitz games. I will also have the mini-giant chess set up (for blitz games too). Totally unrelated to chess, I am getting a few jugglers, stilt-walkers and unicyclists to hang out at the scene as well. It should be a lot of fun and a great way spend the afternoon outdoors.

The event is free, but any donations accepted will go to the Westboro Youth Centre. If you wish further information (or be a blitz player), please contact me at: trbouma@gmail.com
