That experience includes recruiting and welcoming players, arranging fixtures, planning and organising teams, supporting league and tournament chess, raising funds and handling the wider responsibilities that keep a club moving forward.

It also taught us how much a new player’s first few moments can matter.

That is why we devised a simple three-step first-visit plan—to reduce the uncertainty, make the introductions and help you settle into the game you came to play.
