Summer Programme 2024

As in previous years, over the summer we won’t be meeting so often, falling into a fortnightly pattern for the most part. The Thursdays we will be meeting are show below. We will be running the Club Championship, with five dates set aside for that, but with scope for other events alongside for anyone who isn’t involved. Aside from the Club Championship we’ll also be holding our first Rapid Rally events. Time controls for those may vary from those shown below.

Full rules for the Club Championship are available here.
