TELEPOST CHESS CLUB
A friendly club for all standards, based in Shrewsbury
Welcome
Telepost Chess Club welcomes new members of whatever standard, from beginner to experienced player. We meet on Wednesdays, 7pm – 11pm, at The Telepost Club, Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury SY2 6BT, where we are fortunate to have the use of a pleasant clubhouse with a licensed bar. We have teams in the Shropshire Chess League, with opportunities to play friendly social chess, to compete in various club and county competitions, or just to watch and enjoy some interesting games.
We also have a number of online activities, mainly based around our Lichess team, Telepost Dark Knights, who compete in the 4 Nations Chess League.
Find us
Telepost Social Club is on Railway Lane, which can be found opposite the Abbey – SY2 6BT. Three minutes walk from Abbey Foregate car park, which is free after 6pm.
