Garstang Chess Club

A few short months since our first meeting, Garstang Chess Club is now in full swing with a few core members. We meet every Thursday afternoon (1:30pm – 3:30pm) at the Garstang Arts Centre and there is never a dull moment: monumental blunders, defeat snatched from the jaws of victory, not to mention one or two cliffhangers. The tension is real!

Of course, on a more week to week basis, this is just ordinary people coming together for a couple of hours to enjoy a game of chess. We help each other with analysis to up our game and develop new strategies. While it’s always nice to win, it’s equally nice to have an enjoyable and interesting game in good spirits with one or two good laughs along the way. There is a secure deposit box at the entrance to the building for egos.

We are looking to expand the membership and encourage more people to come along. You don’t have to commit and join straight away. Come and watch and/or have a game. Perhaps make a start by learning some of the basics and begin to develop your own strategies – all the members are happy to help. It might be that you are a really hot player and you can teach us a thing or two.

In any event, a warm welcome awaits.

Furthermore, there is always an exceptionally nice pot of tea available, along with a selection of exceedingly delicious cakes, all at jolly reasonable prices.

One again, we meet at Garstang Art Centre on Thursday afternoon, 1:30pm – 3:30pm.
