250,000 Chess Sets to be Given to UK Schools

Holloid Plastics has teamed up with the English Chess Federation to supply 250,000 chess sets to UK schools. The sets will be made from plastic which would have otherwise have gone into landfill.

That’s a lot of sets. Given that there are only 25,000 school in England, counting primary, secondary, and independent schools … why, that’s a lot, isn’t it?
