We’re looking forward to our new club starting tomorrow night!

The First Move! ♟️

We are looking forward to seeing everyone this Tuesday night at the Open Door Centre for our first meeting.

Things are shaping up well and the boards have been dusted off and are ready for play.

A quick reminder for those coming along:

• Under 18s: For now all children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. This is to ensure we have proper safeguarding in place while we get the club established.

Whether you want a game or just a casual chat and a cup of tea you are very welcome.

We want this to be a club for the whole community.

See you all on Tuesday!
