Chess in Hindmarsh Square!
We will be having chess tables set out in the North-West Corner of Hindmarsh Square during the Fringe from 4pm – 8pm on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the duration of the Fringe. Simply turn up and play or help to promote the game. It’s a beautiful shaded area, just around the corner from Rundle Mall on that part of Hindmarsh Square bounded by Grenfell St and Pulteney St and we’d love to get tables set there permanently for chess.
We will be there, provided the Fringe is permitted, on
March: 5, 6, 7 and 12, 13, 14 and 19, 20, 21
The town will be buzzing, especially as the Speigel Tent is located in the main part of Hindmarsh Square so it should be a hoot!
Please come along and join in the fun!
For more info or to help setting up and transporting the tables and chairs etc, please ring Alan Goldsmith on 0401 672 481
