If you have been thinking about coming along for a look then May 2nd at 7pm is your best bet. We have now completed the club champs so will revert back to something a little less formal with a night of quick fire games. Games will kick off shortly after 7, so dont be late if you want to take part in the mini tournament. New members are always welcome.
The club is in recess now for the school holidays, we resume on 2 May with a night of casual lightning chess, 3 + 2
