The club is situated in North Leeds and we meet at the above venue every Wednesday evening from 7 o'clock until about 10.30.  We draw members from all over Leeds and some come from as far a field as liverpool, Lancashire, Skipton, York, Wakefield and Ilkley.

Whatever your standard - beginner or expert - there is a place for you in our chess club. This is one of the largest chess clubs in Yorkshire and we offer:

Social chess

Internal club tournaments - handicap, rapid play, lightning and normal play

The chance to represent the club in the Leeds and Yorkshire Leagues as well as in the National Club Championships.

When Rose Forgrove meet to play in matches other than in the Leeds League we play at Kippax Ex-Service & Social Club, Church Lane, Kippax, Leeds LS25 7HF. Opposing captains should always check with Clive Davies.

We are a very friendly club & always welcome chess players of any age or standard.

To all players we need games handing in for our 2009/2010 'Merit Games' monthly competitions. There are the higher & lower grade competitions. Post them to Steve Russell or just e-mail the moves with or without your own comments. We'll do the rest.

My address is on the Club Officers's page or e-mail them to Steve Russell.

You will also be helping other Rose Forgrove players learn & improve, of a similar standard or lower strength (even of a higher strength).

Thank you, Rose Forgrove Chess Club.
