Bar
There is a large bar in the main hall of the club where you can buy low priced drinks and enjoy a chat.
Membership
Full annual membership is just £27 with reduced prices for juniors and pensioners. This price includes membership to the St. Claret's Social Club - you will receive a membership card too.
About the club
Hayes Chess Club offers chess tournaments, club matches and league competitions and the opportunity to get a rating. Membership is not mandatory but you cannot enjoy the benefits of competitions or a rating without becoming a member.
We participate in two local leagues: The Thames Valley league and The Hillingdon League. We run five teams in these leagues, and are always looking for newcomers to play for us, should they wish. Also, there is an ongoing Club Championship as well as special events, such as The Christmas Lightning, Grandmaster Simultaneous, and the annual lecture.
Security
The St Claret's club is security controlled and access is attained with a swipe card which is issued to you once you become a fully paid member. Until you receive your swipe card, you will have to press the intercom button at the door to the club and ask for the chess club if challenged.
Finally
The chess club is open to all ages, genders and abilities. So come down and enjoy!
