To the Members of Chess Collectors International
 Re.: German Chess Collector’s Meeting from October 8th - 10th, 2010 in Nuremberg, Germany
July 21st , 2010

 

Dear Members and Friends of CCI,

Our last meeting in Naumburg was a memorable event with numerous attendants from Germany and abroad. There we decided to consider Nuremberg as the venue for our next meeting.

Nuremberg, the town of the great Albrecht Dürer, not only offers many historical sites of interest but also a wonderful collection of chess sets and boards in the Germanic National Museum.

As last year in Naumburg we will have a chess market. If you wish to bring chess items for sale or exchange please inform us to enable us to arrange for sufficient space.

For us this is a good opportunity to invite you and your friends to join us for a chess weekend in Nuremberg from October 8th to 10th, 2010.

Enclosed you will find the provisional program together with some material about the town of Nuremberg including a city map and a hotel broshure with directions. We ask you to make your own hotel reservations using the key word “Chess
