Mná na hÉireann Women
A chairde,
Beatha agus Sláinte,

Good news in that the girls did really well in the Faber Cup. A good omen for Womens Chess in the coming years.

Rapid plays for Ladies were organised in Galway and Limerick last year. An average of 10-12 ladies or girls took place in these events and I'm indebted to John Alfred who ran these events on the behalf of the ICU. John has kindly agreed to continue with these next year.

No Ladies Championship this year due to lack of numbers. Separate tournament is perhaps needed. Ideas welcome.

Womens team to represent Ireland in forthcoming Olympiad.

Articles posted on web throughout the year on Womens Championships etc.

Ba mhaith liom buíochas ó chroí a ghabháil leis an choiste as an tacaíocht a tugadh dom le cúpla bliain anuas. Many thanks for all the support over the last two years.
