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.
