Bournemouth Echo article on Poole Chess success printed on 1st August 2018

Christine Roberts kindly arranged to publish this in the Echo —-

POOLE Chess Club is celebrating one of its best season’s ever, having won an unprecedented five trophies in just eight months

Members won three of the four Bournemouth and District League Divisions which they entered, and the Handicap Team Knock-out Cup. They also clinched Division 3 of the Dorset League.

The club puts its growing success down to attracting new, young members, especially via chairman Eric Sachs’s Junior Chess at Bournemouth Library on Saturday mornings. The club also runs social chess sessions for adult members on Wednesday afternoons at Flirt CafĂ©, Bournemouth, which is next door to the library.

Poole Chess Club meets at 7.15pm on Thursday evenings upstairs at the Ex-Servicemen’s Club, 66 North Road, Poole.
