Pebworth Chess Club

Welcome to Pebworth Chess Club!  

All are welcome, so if you’re a beginner, intermediate or been playing for years – come along for a game, to watch, teach, learn, natter, and have a lovely social night out. Evening starts at 18:45 and go on until about 21:00.  Stay as long or as short as you like, and you don't have to turn up when it starts.

Entry £2.50 for room hire and at the minute only adults pay.

Tea and coffee, plus occasionally biscuits or cake provided or bring your own drink of choice.

If available, Dan will provide a short talk on tactics or tips to improve your game if enough people ask for it.

To cover the health and safety/ DBS checks - under 18’s or vulnerable adults must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

We’re currently using Mary’s room which is at the back of the village hall.

We now have 5 full size chess sets, boards, and clocks for those who want to play, as well as various random sized sets from our personal collection for when we have more than ten players.

One member James has setup an online chess club for Pebworth on chess.com for those who want to play online on other days of the week when we don't have the club open.  See https://www.chess.com/club/pebworth-chess-club for more info

We were very glad to obtain support from PAL Community Interest Company who helped with room hire during our first few months.

We would recommend visiting their website https://pal-fitness-education.org.uk/ if you would like help starting up community projects, especially ones that help improve your physical or mental fitness.

WE WILL BE OPEN Tuesday 12th December 2023, and then will be closed until Tuesday 9th January 2024, after which we will be open fortnightly.
