Welcome to the club!
We are a friendly group of chess players of all ages, from 7 to 70+, who love to play, learn and talk about chess.
Most new players to the club start with casual chess and progress to playing in one of our many teams, either online or over the board.
Everyone at the club is more than happy to help each other become better chess players.
If you live or work within reach of Stroud, then this chess club is for you!
Come along and try us out. We welcome players of all abilities from complete beginners to experts.
Where we are
We meet at the Star Anise Café in central Stroud on Thursday evenings from 6pm (juniors) and from 7pm (adults).
How to Join
Come along for a couple of evenings to test the waters. If it's for you, simply set up a monthly standing order of £4 per junior, £5 for all others or £6 for families.
