East Grinstead Chess Club meets weekly from September to April. Next season will commence on Tuesday 13th September. All are welcome of whatever standard and we play a mixture of graded (official) and friendly games. The club entered two teams in the Mid Sussex Chess League in the season just completed, so if you want competitive chess there is always a game available. The first team came second in division 3. This normally means pronotion, though it is a little unpredictable since it depends on the final composition of the leagues divisions next season. Club nights are at the Swan Mead Centre in East Grinstead 7.30 on Tuesdays, all welcome. Unfortunately this site is being infrequently updated at present, (April 2011) but contact details are correct Please see 'How to Find Us' for a map. Subscriptions are £35 for adults, £50 for family membership but come and see if you enjoy it first. Contact Suzanne Marshal for information. or Bob Dyke robertdyke4@aol.com, tel 01342 822058 | You may enjoy this, not quite the same as our club room .link here Note that subscriptions have increased slightly in the last 55 years... the price on the window is equivalent to £9 for a season at East Grinstead, approxmately 1/4 of the current subs. But compare, in 1960 petrol was1 s.(5p) a litre, now its £1.30, 26 times fish and chips was 1s 2d (6p), now £5 in EG, 83 times That seems to make petrol good value, though its hard to believe, but Chess really is cheap!
