Chairman's report  May 1st   2024 

We are nearing the end of the Season and there is already some good news for 2 of our Teams :

1- League activities 


WImborne C   win their Division of the B&DCL  with a game to spare !

See link for all Table details    https://ecflms.org.uk/lms/node/408/tables

Dorset League : 

Wimborne Dorset League B team Win their Division without moving a piece ! 

The only team who could catch them ( Purbeck )  lost in their penultimate game against Highcliffe 
 
The final position of being the Champions  was a really good result as not only did they win every game and have a 100% record . In every game they were out graded by their opponents and in 1 game they won with only 3 players ! - Great result guys

2- Junior Chess 
We are regularly attracting 20+ Juniors to the Saturday morning event at Wimborne Library 10-12 am  . This activity is jointly organized by Simon Young and myself. It's proving very popular and we are pretty much maxed out and cannot accept any new recruits. We could also do with a bit of help on an occasional basis , contact [email protected]  if you have a spare Saturday morning once a month

3- Kings Head weekly meet up’s 

The group of seniors has now grown somewhat and attracts 12-15 people who meet regularly on a Friday morning at the Kings Head Pub/Hotel in Wimborne Square . Many of them stay on afterwards to enjoy Lunch and the odd glass of Merlot ! 
Players bring their own sets and boards but usually don't play with clocks or record moves. It's a very informal event where humor and socializing is to the fore 


4- Internal club  Knock out competition 

This event begins in earnest from February 7th . The time control is 1 hour + 10 second increment . In the event of a draw a 15 minute quick play is then undertaken and if still no result the weaker player is deemed to be the victor.
