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 Open Cup
Our dreams of reaching our first ever Open Cup Final came to nothing following a 4-2 loss at Macclesfield on Monday evening. We got off to a bad start when Petru, who was feeling very unwell, lost on board 2. Gerald got us back on terms with a win on board 1 but we went behind again when Glyn lost, in what looked like an even position, on board 3. Grenville then dropped a Rook on board 6 while 3 pawns up, putting us 3-1 behind. Max brought things back to 3-2 with a very impressive win on board 5, leaving me the last to finish. Unfortunately I managed to blunder a piece away while in time trouble in a totally drawn position on board 4, making the final score 4-2. Click here for the match score card.
