Kent County Cup Final 2012
 | Charlton's first team retained the Kent County Cup by beating Beckenham & Bromley in a repeat of last year's match at Finals Day on 13th May. We have now won the cup for four of the last five years.
The winning team was (left to right) Reenen duToit, Philip Gregory, Alan Hanreck, Tony Stebbings, Philip Morris, Conor Murphy.
Charlton looked to be winning the match comfortably but a couple of wins slipped away in the quick-play finish and the final score was 3 points all, Charlton winning on board count. |

Peter Hannan, 1931-2012
 | Peter was our longest standing member, former club chairman, and the driving force behind many of the club's most successful years. He died peacefully at home on 10th April.
A major figure, not only at Charlton, but also in Kent and English chess circles. An ECF arbiter, organiser of the Charlton Congress and host at his house in Sidcup to many itinerant international chessplayers over the years.
The funeral was at Eltham crematorium on Tuesday 24th April and many of Peter's old chess friends were there.
Sincere condolances to Rose-Marie and his sons and family. |
