Welcome to our club’s website.

We meet on Tuesday evenings in the upstairs function room at the Lincolnshire Poacher real ale pub, 161 Mansfield Road, NG1 3FR, 10 minutes walk from Victoria Centre, and a couple of stops by all NCT buses going up Mansfield Road (Stop FO12 ‘Huntingdon St’ coming from town, FO09 ‘Huntingdon St’ going towards town).

Parking is available on Mansfield Road (a parking charge applies until 10pm) and just around the corner on North Sherwood Street (restricted times on some parts of it), and other side streets.

We are located perfectly for any chess players who work or study at Nottingham Trent Uni.

This season we have again entered 7 teams in the Nottinghamshire Chess League and we had 3 teams during the summer in the newly formed Summer League (see the League Management System website at https://lms.englishchess.org.uk/lms/organisation/680).

We also run internal club competitions, both casual and ECF rated (for example, our Rapidplay Swiss).

Our Club Information page gives an overview and history of our club and the News page has reports of our efforts in the league and our members’ achievements in weekend tournaments etc.

For more information please contact our club secretary Mike Naylor-Eade on 07896 074156 or at ppyrman@hotmail.com
