Visitors of all standards are always welcome.   Although the main chess season runs from September to May, we play throughout the year.

The club currently has about 25 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!).

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.


DO NOT FORGET THAT SOME OF US ALSO MEET FOR INFORMAL GAMES AT THE LUDO LOUNGE, 34 SOUTHBOURNE GROVE ON A TUESDAY AFTERNOON.  Click here for full details
