The league and club AGMs have finished, and Wellington College is again available after the summer break. What does this mean for Crowthorne Chess Club? In many ways, it’s business as normal, although we have increased the number of teams we are entering in the Border and Berkshire Leagues.

We will continue to meet for social chess on Thursdays at Pinewood as usual.

Crowthorne Junior chess resumes meeting on Wednesdays from 6:30 at the Monro Pavilion.
