Temporary Switch to Tuesdays

Govanhill Chess Club meets weekly on Monday evenings in Wellcroft Bowling Club in Queens Park.

As the Bowling Club season starts in late April, with Monday as a meeting date for bowling league business, the Chess Club will switch to Tuesday evenings for the final six weeks of the 2021/22 season.

The six relevant dates are:

  • Tue 26 April
  • Tue 3 May
  • Tue 10 May (final Club Championship date)
  • Tue 17 May (home friendly vs Cathcart)
  • Tue 24 May
  • Tue 31 May (final meeting of 2021/22 season)

The meeting times will remain 6:30-8:30pm.

This is a temporary change. The intention is to retain Mondays as the usual meeting night for the 2022/23 season, which will begin in late August/early September.

* Update: at the 2022 Chess Club AGM, in August 2022, it was agreed to permanently shift to Tuesday evenings for the 2022/23 season owing to Bowling Club activities on Mondays at the start and end of the season.
