Chess

On Leap Day a talk was given by a representative from Ferodo Ltd., the manufacturers of brake linings. This was the first technical meeting of the Club and much was learnt by our members about the manufacture, use and development of braking systems.

The final indoor meeting of the Club was in the form of a talk given by the North's premier racing driver, Mr. Tony Dean. He talked about his racing career, and in particular his rise from go-karting to driving his present Dino Ferrari 206 and Porsche Carrera 6 in the short space of four years. He related many of his experiences, especially those in Daytona and South Africa. In addition members were able to view his new Dino which he kindly brought with him. As this is the only car of its type in England it caused quite a sensation in the school grounds.

At the end of term the Club had its first outings. On the last Saturday a small party of 12 members went to the Croft General Practice Day and the following day a further 24 travelled to Croft Autodrome to see the first race meeting of the season which featured Brian Robinson's team, three Lotus 47 GTs and Tony Dean's Dino. Several of our B.A.R.C. members marshalled at the event which brought the term's activities to a successful end.

The Chess team had only one fixture this term—against Bootham School. The first X won 6-4, and the Junior VI won 41-11. In the house matches, Queen's beat Temple in the final, whereas the Junior house matches, a new experiment this year, were slow in getting under way. It was originally hoped to have a simultaneous display this term, but this did not materialise.

The folowing played against Bootham School: — 1st X: J. Fender, A. L. Kirk, W. E. Sherlaw, P. T. Summers, G. M. Fairhurst, J. Nutter, D. A. Little, S. P. Collinson and R. F. Cawood.
