29th OLD EDWARDIAN SUMMER CHAMPIONSHIPS - 13 &14 March 2021

Old Edwardian Mind Sports Club dominates wargames events in South Africa.

The 29th OLD EDWARDIAN SUMMER CHAMPIONSHIPS shall be held at the Old Edwardian Society, 11 Ninth Avenue, Lower Houghton, Johannesburg, on 13 &14 March 2021.

The championship is renown for having many of South Africa's top players play in such championships as a warm up to Mind Sports South Africa's Provincial Championships. Past participation in this event is a veritable 'who's who' in South African gaming. No less than eight world champions have used the Old Edwardian Summer Championships in which to hone their skills.

Since the Old Edwardian Summer Championships does not count for MSSA's official rankings, the players who participate in the board gaming, esports and wargames events, are able to dabble with new tactics, and ready themselves for the new season.

The championships shall start on both days at 9H00. The figure-games shall be played on both days.

This is an open championship and open to all whether affiliated to Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) or not.

KES EASTER FESTIVAL

Remembrance Sunday lunch.

Old Edwardian Society is rich in history.

In my opinion, Old Edwardian Society has had a major influence, through its members, in all aspects of South African life.

At no time in South Africa's history did Old Edwardian members make a greater contribution than during the Great war and the Second World War.

Members gave their all to do what was right.

The School, rightly, always with due decorum, remembers those who fought for what was right and made the ultimate sacrifice.

After the solemn occassion at the School, the Society's caterers, Agdervanic Caterers, have devised a wonderful menu for all those who adjourn to the Society .
