Hello everyone, below is the agenda for our 2018 annual general meeting.

The event traditionally marks the end of the season and the time we begin planning for the next campaign.

This year we need to decide how many teams we want to enter in the various leagues and appoint several new captains.

We hope you will come along to help us decide the best way forward.


ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING: to be held at the Battersea Labour Club at 8pm on Tuesday, June 12, 2018.

Proposals for next year’s subscriptions

No change is proposed other than that members paying via PayPal should not have the benefit of the discount for early payment. This is to offset the cost of the fees deducted by PayPal.

Current subscription rates are as follows;

Regular members – £70, but reduced to only £60 if paid by the end of September 2018

Concessions – half of the rate for regular members

Juniors – free

New members – free for the first three month and thereafter the lower of £20, or a pro- rata amount to the end of the season. If selected to play for one of the teams during their ‘free period’ then a £4.00 game fee will be levied for each game played.

London League 1st Team members – at the discretion of the captain, team members will pay an annual amount of £20, plus a game fee of £4 for each match played, capped at a maximum of 12 games.

NOTE: There is a requirement for members to join the English Chess Federation if they wish to be selected for a Club team. This is to avoid the Club incurring grading fees.
