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.
Congratulations to Kasian and Gabriela on the birth of their first child. He arrived yesterday and they have named him Alex. I've registered him with the ECF and his first match will be against Meir in the South Potteries Chess Challenge Cup !!
