Why not wander into your local - perhaps The Hunter's Inn - with a chess board and set. Buy a pint, set up the board, and see if you can lure anyone into a game. Hey presto! You have the beginnings of a chess club in Tewksbury. You can work on accreditation later.

Artfizz, Mathsart is only 13 year old !! Now how the hell is he gonna go to a pub ??

im only fourteen and i just worked over summer made a bit of money and started a chess club by my self it's perfectly do-able just needs persistence thats all. good luck.

 I didn't appreciate that. Could he go into a pub with his parents - and not buy any alcohol?

Offence not intended, but aren't pubs that don't serve food only meant to allow 18+ in them (ie part of the licensing laws instead of the sale of alcohol to minors)? I was pretty sure that was the law.. The problem is that you're not likely to get a game in a Wetherspoon's or one of the mainstream pubs that does food, partly because of the layout and partly because of the clientelle.

 that is true i dont want to exactly go against a drunk man who has one pint too many

kco keeps beating me up on the board as well! Help! 

Under 'best chess advice', it mentioned that, when playing a stranger in a bar, let him castle first - then copy whatever style of castling he uses e.g. swapping king and rook positions.

ok lets have a look

i really enjoy chess,but i never get a chance to play it, so it would be lovely if we had a chess club in Tewkesbury so we can play chess all the time but only if it was on a "SUNDAY"

rexbo : where did the club end up playing? at home? at school? in the local pub(!)?

mathsart : have you considered playing chess on school premises?

If only i could teleport like in the Star trek movies,I'll be there! just like a beatle song,but we are vastly separated,My symphathy goes with you.If i am there,We could start a stirring up and make a Classic chess and Quadro Chess Club England Chapter.fr ChessTrainor.

Is this topic about pubs or about chess. Geez, will you ladies please stop bickering about nonsense? A "pub" was just an example. The point of the post is that anyone can start a chess club by taking some initiative and getting people together. It doesn't matter if it's a pub, a library, a coffee shop, a school, etc.

"Any Time At All", naturally.

("I'll Be There" was the title of a hit for The Jackson 5, and Mariah Carey).

Did someone just say: "LIBRARY?"
