Annual General Meeting 2022

Please note that the Bournemouth Chess Club Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday 20 July commencing at 7.30pm for all current members.

We look forward to seeing you there. 

Important Club Update

Following our last General Meeting and discussion with Poole Chess Club, it has been decided that both clubs will remain as they are. The option of a merger of the two clubs will not be pursued further.

The Bournemouth Chess Club will now focus on developing the club and attracting new members. We believe this is achievable by hosting our friendly Club Chess on the same evening we play B&DCL League matches. This will be on a Tuesday evening from 6.30pm - 9.30pm. Once the new season dates are available the evening schedule will be posted.

We look forward to building the club from strength to strength. I hope that everybody enjoys their last games of the season and has a wonderful summer holiday.
