HOME 2019-20
Formby is a long established chess club which welcomes players of
varying standards from the village and surrounding areas. It is now
firmly based on Tuesday nights 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, lacking only a licensed bar but with the Railway pub closeby.
The main competitive season runs from September to May during which
period the club enters 4 teams in the Merseyside League. For 2019-20 the 1st team will be back in Division 1 following a form of default by another club with the 2nd team in Division 3 and the 3rd team in Division 4. For the coming season there will be a team of four in the restricted grade '440'division and all members, of long experience or relative newcomers to the game should be able to play team chess.There are also 2 cup K/O teams. In recent seasons several members together with some from other clubs have participated as Woodvale in the Warrington League but this club has now folded. However local clubs ,Skem and Ormskirk (based at Aughton) have teams in that league and may well be happy to welcome individuals from Formby as there is no restriction on playing in both leagues.
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 September pop along to Ravenmeols Centre on a
Tuesday evening from 7-30pm
