Following hot on the heels of a successful Chess Congress held at the Customs House in July 2016 to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of South Shields Chess Club . We have decided that we might have another go . This time we can celebrate our 152nd Anniversary .  The format will either be a Quick Play One Day event  or a  Half Day Blitz Event .  Venue could possibly be at the Customs House again , or possibly Jarrow Hall . It could be on the Saturday 7th or Sunday 8th . If anyone has other ideas for a venue please let us me know .

Maybe if the membership agree we can choose a Charity to dedicate this event to .

More Specific Details will follow but in the meantime you can enjoy the logo that AARON created for us ,
