GLORNEY - FABER CUPS 2001

THE GLORNEY & FABER CUPS 2001.

July 8 to 11, 2001.

with the chess club "Echiquier Hyérois".

Our club l'Echiquier Hyérois (Hyères Chess Club) was chosen by the French Chess Federation for our reputation in organising this type of meeting. We will be happy to receive you for these two great sporting manifestations of the new century in our town of Hyères. The two tournaments will take place in the new installations at the “Forum du Casino des Palmiers”. This magnificent building , in the heart of the town, was finished in 1999, with a surface area of more than 4000 m², entirely carpeted, air-conditioned, it is equipped with the latest in technology.

The two competitions will take place at the same time as our « 1st International Summer Tournament of the 21st century ». This open will give the children an opportunity to frequent many Masters and Grandmasters from around the world. They will also have the possibility to meet several French Youth Champions, accompanied by one of our National Coaches, who will be coming to train for the World and European Youth Championships.

L'échiquier hyérois has already organised some great chess events, international tournaments and the French Youth Championship which regrouped 3200 people including 900 players.

The club is one the best in France with over 1000 members (99% juniors) in its best years. Several of our players have won or placed second in the French Youth Championships.

It’s for those reasons that the

French Chess Federation has conferred to us THE FABER CUP and THE GLORNEY CUP of the new century.

THE GLORNEY & FABER CUPS 2001.

July 8 to 11, 2001.

INFORMATION

The Glorney Cup is for teams of five boys. The Faber Cup is for teams of three girls. All players must be aged under 18 on 1^st of January 2001(i.e. date of birth 1983 or later). Each tournament is held over five rounds and the eight invited countries are Belgium, Czech Republic, England, France, Ireland, Netherlands, Scotland and Wales.

Teams would most likely arrive on the afternoon of Saturday July the 7^th and depart on the afternoon of Wednesday, July the 11^th. Full board and lodging is provided for each team plus one team manager for these days, however it is possible to stay an extra night and leave on Thursday morning. The federations pay for this extra night, and also for any extra accompanying people.

Following the recommendations of the French Chess Federation, the dates, in the first half of July, have been chosen bearing in mind 3 concerns : Peak of the season between 15^th of July and 15^th of August meaning problems to find accommodation facilities at that time in the French Riviera, one Saturday night on the spot to ease the process of getting cheaper Airfares, and eventually, not to clash with the European Junior in Patras from July the 15^th till the 28^th.

We will receive you at your arrival at the Hyères train station or at the Airport of Hyères and bring you to your lodging which is five minutes walk from the playing hall. For any teams arriving by a different route, the meeting place is the “Forum du Casino des Palmiers”.

We remind you that each country is required to contribute £300 sterling to the host nation. Team managers should bring this with them.

A brilliant and friendly town, with a mild and healthy climate, Hyères was host at the beginning of the century, to wintering celebrities, which stayed on, and left for posterity, prestigious palaces and villas. Here time is suspended, following in the footsteps of Lamartine, Queen Victoria, Alexis Godillot, Michelet, Stevenson and Tolstoy.
