The annual SCCU Jamborees were held a little closer to home this year than hitherto. In recent years, Essex players have needed to trek across north London to Wembley Park, but this year were held at Wanstead House, on Saturday 18 April 2026.
The U2050 Jamboree, over 10 boards, was once again a straight match between Essex and Middlesex; again no other counties were minded to enter. So Essex and Middlesex had their third encounter of the season at this level and Essex completed a clean sweep by 6½-3½.
The U1825 Jamboree was, by contrast, a true Jamboree, with seven teams, playing over six boards. Having said that, however, there were only three counties represented: Surrey with one team, Kent with four teams and Essex with two teams. Surrey won with 4/6, the four Kent teams followed and, sadly, the two Essex teams brought up the rear.
