Chess
The Chess group was established following the Open Day, late in 2022, when my interest in joining a group was turned around to my starting one!! Usual story I imagine.
We meet every two weeks in our small flat in St Anne’s and we immediately had 8 people who were happy with the Tuesday 10:00am to 12 noon timeframe.
Our flat does not hold 8 chess players but somehow we make it work (described by one as "cosy"). We are thus full. We have players at most levels but the key objective is to play and have fun doing so. We have recently introduced a chess ladder and during our short time we have played Spassky Random chess and clock timed games to add a bit of fun. Of course we all want to win but no one seems to mind losing!?
We are also happy to teach members how to play. The timing of this would be as convenient for both parties and we have people in both St Anne`s and Lytham who are available to do this.
