An IMPORTANT CHANGE at Herne Bay Chess Club

Important  update folks! As the May Lodge Club has ceased trading(for the present), we have moved to:

The Herne Bay Angling Association

59-60 Central Parade Herne Bay  CT6 5JG

This is opposite the car park and close to the Clock Tower. The room is upstairs – just ask the bar staff if you need help.

Club night is still Tuesday – just turn up around 7.30 pm

NB Parking is free from 6pm – providing you park on the sea front near the May Lodge(about 1 minutes walk away). The car park opposite the club does charge up to 8pm.

We have several new young members who are keen to improve & play competitively – why not come & see what we can offer?

A number of our players come along just for the  fun &  entertainment – playing in matches is not a requirement unless you want to!

We have a keen trainer – Robert Hamilton – who is usually there at 6.30 pm

Please contact me at bernie68@rocketmail.com  or 01227-791507 for more details.

Best wishes

Broadstairs news July 2011

As the season nears its end, here is an update on events at Broadstairs Chess Club. The seventh annual Broadstairs Blitz took place on July 11th and it was the closest yet. Fourteen players took part, divided into two teams, and scores were level going into the eighth and last round. A strong showing by the Mods enabled them to triumph 26-23 over the Rockers with Ian Hames gaining the bottle of wine for the individual winner with a score of 7/7. Special mention should go to one of our junior players, Leonie Lane, whose three wins out of seven, played a crucial part in the Mods’ victory.

The Summer Swiss is now in round four of five and there is a new prize this year, the John Cutting Cup. The winner will be the player with the best grading performance so it is wide open.

The Goodall Cup looks like going all the way with the deciding game likely to be between David Horton and David Faldon. The knockout competition for the John Couzens Vase will continue into the new season.
