East Grinstead Chess Club meets weekly from September to end of April. Club nights are held at Age UK’s premises in the Glen Vue Centre in Railway Approach, East Grinstead every Monday from 7.30 pm. There is ample parking on site (free after 8.00pm).
All are welcome of whatever standard. We play a mixture of graded and friendly games.
The club enters three teams in the Sussex Chess League and runs a number of internal competitions. However, you can also just play 'friendly' games if you prefer.
Location: Please see 'How to Find Us' for a map.
Subscriptions: £60 for adults per year, £30 for students - but come and see if you enjoy it first.
