German Chess Collector's Meeting from June 19th to 21st, 2009 in Naumburg, Germany

February 12th, 2009

Dear Members and Friends of CCI,

Our last meeting in Braunschweig, the town of Henry the Lion and Gustavus Selenus, was a great success with numerous attendants from Germany and abroad. There we decided to accept the kind invitation of our member Jens-Frieder Mükke to Naumburg. All CCI Members and Friends are welcome.

The Naumburg Cathedral not only offers the world famous sculpture of "Uta" but also the well known "Chess playing apes" that crown one of the columns in the Cathedral. We are thankful to the Museum "Hohe Lilie" for arranging a special chess exhibition to coincide with our meeting.

Following the suggestion of various members, this year we will have a chess market. If you wish to bring chess items for sale or exchange please inform us in order to arrange for sufficient space.

For us this is a good opportunity to invite you to join us for a chess weekend in Naumburg from June 19th to 21st, 2009.

Enclosed you will find the program together with some material about the town of Naumburg including a city map, directions, a hotel broshure and an informative text introducing you to the town and the region. .

We ask you to make your own hotel reservations using the key word "Chess Collectors".
