Durham City

Opportunities for league chess: At present the club has about two dozen paid-up members and runs three teams in the Durham County League and one in the Northumberland League. There are opportunities for players of all standards.

Opportunities for social chess: Most Wednesdays between October and April there are matches or club championship games, but the club also has use of an additional room for friendly games, analysis and chat. On the occasional free night there is normally a talk or training session arranged. After the club, several members usually adjourn to a pub for a drink and an entertaining post-mortem.

Douglas Smith runs a thriving junior section on Wednesdays from 5.45-6.45 pm.

Ken Neat sends out a weekly newsletter with recent results, forthcoming events, games etc.
