Welcome to Worthing Chess Club.

We are a friendly chess club with a growing membership, we welcome players of all ages and strengths.

Our membership ranges from the enthusiastic novice up to county strength players with grades ranging from 50 to 190. We also have a small, but growing, number of juniors.

From September to the end of May we hold club nights every Monday from 7:20pm for friendly games, club competitions and league matches. The club is now closed until the AGM on 6th September 2010.


We meet at

West Tarring Working Mens Club
118 - 122 Pavilion Road
Worthing, West Sussex BN14 7EL
