HOME 2011
Regular viewers or the more observant of you will realise that this
page has changed and that inter alia the President's poem has
disappeared. I have to say that this is more by accident than design
but as the President is one of a small handful of members who do not
yet have personal access to the web I'm sure he won't mind.
Formby is a long established chess club which welcomes players of
varying standards from the village and surrounding areas. It is now
firmly based at the Ravenmeols Community Centre with car parking and
in a very comfortable well equipped room which by general consensus is
amongst the best in the Merseyside Association.
The main competitive season runs from September to May during which
period the club enters 4 teams in the Merseyside League. For 2011-12
the teams will be in Divisions 1,3 and 4 plus the restricted grade
'440'division and thus giving opportunities for competitive play to 24
players, of long experience or relative newcomers to the game.There
are also 2 cup K/O teams. In addition a team of 5 play in the Wirral
League allowing for a more social yet still competitive approach but
with more travel involved.
The club has internal competitions throughout the season open to all
members and also individual members take part in outside chess
congresses details of which are on a separate page.
Players wishing to see what the club has to offer should peruse the
site pages, ring the Secretary Mike Barrett on 01704
877854 or from August 30th pop along to Ravenmeols Centre on a
Tuesday evening from 7-30pm
