Having spoken to Zoe at The Queens , we can resume on Sept 13 (please note we cannot use Sept 6).
We will have to impose our own rules regarding, eg masks, so it is proposed we start with a short "AGM" in which we deal with this and work out what we want to do.
We will not appoint any captains at this stage as league chess is not yet on the horizon - but it will be possible to summarise the numbers who have indicated if and when they might play. If we keep this brief there should be plenty of time to play some friendly games for those who want.
The club will open on Monday 13th September 2021.
Over the past year , there has only been online matches , so over-the-board matches may not happen for some time
Stockport and District Chess League : 2019-20 Season
The 2019-20 season is now closed - see below
With the possibility of the resumption of over the board chess later this year, the committee has been considering the way forward.
With regard to the unfinished 2019-20 season, the League rules state that the season should have ended in May last year (as agreed at the 2019 Fixtures Meeting). We did not enforce this, in the hope that it would be possible to resume the interrupted season at some point. However, too much time has now passed and we feel it would be best to start afresh, hopefully in the Autumn. The 2019-20 season is therefore declared closed.
It is intended to award league titles to the teams with the best 'points per match' record (PPM) in each division. The League tables have been revised to reflect this. This means that the 2019-20 champions are -
Division 1 - Macclesfield A
Division 2 - East Cheshire A
Division 3 - Macclesfield C
Limit League – Stockport
The revised Season tables link is
The club will be closed until pubs and venues are allowed to re-open which will be later this the year.
Please note we normally close for the season at the end of May but everything is uncertain at the moment.
