Members, our FIDE league will be 90+0 next season but we will also run the U1800 Sam Lynn Memorial Classic on the same nights at 60+0 for our younger players who need to leave earlier so we promise there will be something on every night for everyone!

We are over the moon to receive a grant from the The National Lottery Community Fund to help develop our community outreach activities where chess builds bridges, builds confidence, breaks down language barriers, cross-cultural, cross-community, attracts young and old in wonderful cross-generational activities, combats loneliness and isolation and is often described as a ‘happy place’ for those with ASD who adore attending our events and making friends for life.

Chess connects, it builds community, it creates a magic spark in the lives of so many. To the National Lottery, thank you for believing in what we do…
