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.

How The Mighty Are Fallen
It was an embarrassing evening for the Chief Executive last night. Playing with White against Joe Orsolics in the 1st Round of the Club Championship I blundered a Knight for a Pawn and looked on the verge of losing. Joe couldn't believe his luck but, fortunately for me, he didn't have the nerve to go for the win and settled for a draw by perpetual check. All of this was much to the amusement of everybody else at the club. I then followed this up by losing a friendly to young Edward Brian, providing more merriment all round !!!
