MEETINGS AND CLUB LOCATION
Southbourne Chess Club meets on Friday evenings, 7.00-10.30 p.m.
(except sometimes between Christmas and New Year) at
Tuckton Social Club, 214 Tuckton Road, BOURNEMOUTH, Dorset, BH6 3AA, ENGLAND
(Behind Penton Garage - drive opposite Riverside Lane)
We have a small car park and if you are coming by bus, Transdev Yellow Buses stop almost outside. Use the 1b or 1c and ask for Tuckton Bridge or Penton Garage. See www.bybus.co.uk website for details of times etc.
If you're coming for the first time, please arrive as soon after 7 p.m. as possible - we'll then have a little time to meet you prior to when games start around 7.15. (Our AGM is usually the second Friday in September)
Visitors of all standards are always welcome. Although the main chess season runs from September to May, we play throughout the year.
There are just two fairly low steps to access the club through the front door and a small ramp if entering through the fire escape.
The club currently has about 30 members encompassing a wide range of playing strengths. Juniors are very welcome.
For those who enjoy refreshments we have a tea & biscuit break at 9 p.m. and after a duel over the board, some members meet in a local pub, to share in all those brilliancies and blunders (hopefully more of the former!).
If you're at all unsure about whether to come, or would like any further information, please do not hesitate to contact: Peter Bytheway on 01202 309055 or any committee member.
The Club is a non-smoking club and smoking is not permitted anywhere in the building. It is allowed in the car parking area, but all stubs etc must be disposed of properly.
