There is no Chess Club this Wednesday (27th) as the Stoke League is holding a meeting in the Function Room. In other news, our Championship has already caused a surprise, as last year's winner, Stuart, was beaten by Roger. There is still time to join the Championship - speak to Bob.

Now is the time to join our Club Championship as we start again. Two games against each member - one with white and one with black. Played under the same conditions as League matches, so it could be a good introduction to competitive chess over the quiet summer. Tell Bob, our chairman, if you would like to join.

Four Meir players turned out for Staffordshire yesterday, playing Norfolk at a neutral venue in Peterborough. The team narrowly lost at this knock out stage. In the last game to finish, Martin from the Meir was in a tight game with one of their young players, Ivan. Then Martin forgot that he was no longer defending a rook, and it fell. There's always next year.

Congratulations to Stuart, who has an unassailable lead at the top of our Club Championship! Played: 13; won: 10; drawn: 2; lost: 1. This winds up our Championship for this year and a new competition starts soon. If you are a "new" player, please let Bob know as soon as possible.

Meir win Division 5 of the Stoke League. A somewhat surprising defeat of Cheddleton D by Crewe L last night, puts the Meir on top of the table, with 18 points, followed by Holmes Chapel C and Cheddleton D, both on 16. We have enjoyed the season and our games against excellent and friendly opponents.
