New Season

Calling all Coventry Chess Players !


Already Summer is nearly over and the New Chess Season will be upon us very soon so next Tuesday 29th August our Brand new Treasurer - David Adams will be collecting subs for the New Season.

Cost is as follows:-  £38.00 including Bronze membership to the ECF or if you have paid the ECF Online Club membership of £22.00.

The first match of the Season is on September 26th - Divisional Cup match.

We also welcome a couple of new clubs into the League - Coventry University into the Second Division and  a Junior team in each Division, run by Paul Lam - Coventry Chess Academy. Please note for this Season all Coventry Chess Academy away matches will be played at their Home venue.


If you are unable to attend next Tuesday could you let your Captain know as we are also starting to select the Teams for the New Season.

Look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday 29th August.
