Every Tuesday evening from 7:30 onwards, evening chess is organised at the Kingfisher inn, 14 Crown Street. Everyone, beginner or confirmed player, is welcome to the club on our evenings.
No fees are requested for friendly games or for coaching. A membership fee of £15 per year (£7 for junior members) is charged to the members. Further details can be obtained by contacting us by e-mail.
Our league games are usually organised at the Globe Hotel, main street, on Saturday or Sunday.
Club championship can be played on the Tuesday evening chess. The time control is 61 minutes for the game. The participation to this championship requires a full membership of the club.
Discover the beauty of chess combinations by trying our chess problems. We will endeavour to propose a new problem every fortnight. You will also find selected games that members of our club have played. We hope that they will make you understand why chess is the oldest and most popular board game ever, and also why it is so addictive...
