Can I say thanks to Peter Slater for finding this snippet from the paper. It shows our very own Ron Williams and others from the BSO chess team from a few years back. I think the trophy is still used to day for the winners of the league.?!
Can I gently remind those who have yet to pay their subscriptions that these should be made soon. Jon Gilbert has to pay zone fees to the WCU by the end of October. If Dave Norris could receive the subs then he will forward payment to Jon Gilbert. Many thanks David

We are having a club night on Wednesday 27th Sept 2023 at 7pm. We have some new members who wish to join our club so can we give them a nice welcome. Afterwards, we can play fun chess! So all welcome, hope to see you there!!
The Gwent fixtures for Division 1 and Division 2 are now available and the Malpas games can be found under the Gwent League item on the menu of this site. Note that Division 1 is a 4 board league team; whereas, Division 2 is a 3 board league team. Also the names of the players…
With the new season starting, I thought we’d try a new website design. I have migrated the site to a new host so that we can utilise Chess plugins and see some games that we play during the season. If there is anything you want to put on then let me know!
