About Us

Chess Set

The Club was formed in 1997 when two of the then four chess clubs in Bury St Edmunds decided to merge. The Woolpack Wanderers and the Bury Knights were the two clubs involved and the main purpose of their coming together was to form a single strong club that would be able to challenge the might of Ipswich Chess Club, Suffolk's largest and strongest club.

This club was originally named the Bury Canons, and subsequently changed to Bury Cannons, due to its then location at the Lucky Break Snooker Club. In July 2009, following the demise of the Bury and West Suffolk Chess Club, by then the only other chess club in the town, our club's name was changed again to the Bury St Edmunds Chess Club.
