The club is volunteer-led, with coaches and helpers giving their time freely to support the local chess community. Fees collected go directly towards:

• Hall hire and equipment storage (covered by session fees)

• Operational costs such as insurance, safety training, and administration (covered by annual membership)

• Coaching expenses to support the club and ensure we have experienced coaches available
