Welcome to our club’s website.

We are open all year round, including during the summer. 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), on North Sherwood Street (permit only until 8pm 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.

We enter several teams in the Nottinghamshire Chess 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).
