Congratulations to Luwanna Beeton on being awarded the 2017 Glen Gibbs Award.

The award honours the memory of Glen Gibbs, a Tasmanian chess stalwart and champion of Junior Chess. Luwanna was the top-placed female player at this year's schools finals and has participated in more than twelve tournaments this year as a valued junior member of the Launceston club. She was the unanimous choice of the selection panel and will use her $220 prize to support her participation in the upcoming U10 section of the Australian Junior Championships in Melbourne. Well Done, Luwanna - and good luck in Melbourne.
