An IMPORTANT CHANGE at Herne Bay Chess Club

bernie — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 00:45:28 +0000

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

Bernie

Margate on the move

johnc — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 09:52:22 +0000

Margate Chess Club has now moved to the Church Hall beneath Union Church and you have to go down the hill at the side of the church (Pump Lane) and turn right (into Union Row) to find the entrance behind the black gates. The full address is:-

Union Church,
Union Crescent,
Margate,
Kent,
CT9 1NR

We still meet on Thursdays and tea and coffee making facilities are available for free.
There are 3 rooms we can use, so we can have a separate analysis room, and enough tables and chairs for league events to be held there, plus committee meetings. The venue is nice and quiet (no more noisy quizzes!) with no stairs to climb and wheelchair access too. We have been meeting there for a couple of weeks on a trial basis, and have now confirmed it as our new home. We leave the front door open until 7:30 when the clocks start, so ring the bell to be let in if you arrive later than this.
Parking is in the nearby streets and there are no restrictions after 5pm where the parking meters are in Union Crescent, with Addington Street & Addington Road (by the Post Office depot) also having places to park. There are also about 6 spaces on the opposite end of Union Row.

We used to meet here around 20 years ago, so I’m told, so we’ve “come home” effectively.

John Clarke,
Secretary of Margate Chess Club

Broadstairs news July 2011

bob — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 11:46:05 +0000

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.
