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.

Fenton Out Of Gothard Cup
Despite being heavily outgraded on boards 2 to 5, Fenton put up a great fight in last night's Gothard U161 County Cup Semi-Final before going down by 4 - 1. In fact, Cheddleton's board 4 was graded higher than Rob on board 1. However, the match was much closer than the score suggests with boards 2 and 3 going right down to the wire. Rob was his usual dependable self with a draw on board 1 but the highlight of the evening for Fenton was a draw on board 5 by Young Ernie Wilkinson against a player graded 34 points higher than him.
