About the Club
Warndon Chess Club is a friendly and inclusive chess club welcoming players of all ages and abilities, from complete beginners to experienced competitors. Whether you are new to the game, returning after a break, or looking for regular competitive chess, the club provides a supportive environment where everyone is encouraged to enjoy and improve their chess.
Who the Club Is For
Our club is open to adults and juniors alike. Beginners are supported and encouraged, while more experienced players can enjoy regular competitive games, league chess, and opportunities to test and develop their skills.
Club Nights
We meet on Monday nights at The Lyppard Hub, Warndon Villages, from 19:30 to 21:30. Visitors and prospective members are always welcome to come along, watch, and have a game. Visitors are welcome at £3 per night. Tea, coffee and biscuits provided free of charge.
A Typical Club Night
Equipment and Facilities
A typical club night includes a mix of friendly games, informal coaching, analysis, and competitive practice. Members are free to play at their own pace, whether that means a casual game, preparing for league matches, or taking part in internal competitions.
All standard chess equipment, including boards, pieces, and clocks, is provided by the club. Members are also welcome to bring their own equipment if they prefer.
Juniors (U18's)
We aim to create a positive and respectful atmosphere for both junior and adult players. Juniors are supported in their development, and all members are encouraged to play in a friendly and sportsmanlike manner.
Currently, juniors must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. To view a copy of our safeguarding policy, contact our Safegaurding Officer Colin Vernon (enhanced DBS clearance) on info@warndonchessclub.co.uk
