Radcliffe and Bingham Chess Club is delighted to announce that we are the proud winners of the English Chess Federation’s ‘Small Club of the Year’ Award for 2024.
This national award recognises the enthusiastic and enjoyable environment we have created and also the contribution our members make to chess throughout the county. We have also had great success in starting up a junior section in the past 3 years.
The club has expanded rapidly and has doubled its membership since pre-pandemic days, as reflected in our 5 competing teams (including minor league).
We have also been fortunate in the continuing association with our venue hosts at Radcliffe British Legion, with our new residence in the ‘concert room’ of the social club building. Visiting teams will be welcomed to our new home and no doubt invited to admire the glass trophy from the ECF!
