Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Tollgate Hotel have decided to close down permanently, leaving us without a venue. We are now looking for a new home but, with the Covid-19 restrictions currently in place, this is unlikely to happen in the near future.

Bully Boys Make Short Work Of Cheddleton 'H'
The Bully Boys increased their lead at the top of Division 4 to 6 points with a 3.5 - 0.5 drubbing of Cheddleton 'H' last night. Rob's match was the only blot on the landscape as his draw on board 1 enabled Cheddleton to avoid the whitewash. Ernie played another pitiful endgame against the same player he struggled against a couple of weeks ago when up by too many pieces to count. This time he had Queen, Rook, Bishop and a handful of Pawns against a lone King and still managed to miss a mate on the move !! However, a couple of moves later he managed to mate his opponent on the back rank. Click here to view the full match scorecard.
