Press Report 8th September 2017

South Hams Chess Club re-opens for a new season on Thursday 7th September at the Regal Club, Church Street starting at 7pm. The club would welcome new members of any playing strength, although a little playing experience would be helpful. The Club has Internal Club competitions and enters teams in the Torbay Chess League; from Division 1down to Division 4, so different levels of play for all standards of play. They also enter a team in the Mamhead League of the Devon County Chess Association.

The club has remained open during the summer period which saw Ben Wilkinson and David Archer jointly win the knockout cup - an internal competition which didn’t finish last season due to an overload of fixtures.

A few Internal Homan & Dunleavy League games have already been played, which sees Steve Levy top of the Homan and James Fowler leading the Dunleavy. Three club members Alan Davies, Ken Ashby and Clifford Peach will be playing in the week-long Paignton Congress starting on the 3rd September. Anyone wanting more information please ring Clifford Peach on 01752 407757, check out our website www.southhamschessclub.com, or just turn up on any Thursday evening at 7pm.
