The 2019 AGM took place in our new venue Clareville Community Centre, on monday 2nd of September. The committee was re-elected with acknowledgements to all involved in finding a new venue. The new season was discussed and following the AGM the prize-giving ceremony for the 2019 club championship took place.
New Premises
At the EGM on Monday it was decided that the Clareville Community Centre, Glasnevin, would be our new venue. Thanks to everyone involved in seeking new premises, we can now concentrate on the new season.

Since it is a residential area we ask all members to be respectful and quiet while leaving the premises.

Next Four Weeks in Clareville
Fellow Club Members
Last Monday was our first evening in Clareville Community Centre Glasnevin.
Members had an opportunity to play chess in a different location following four
successful weeks in Artane Community Centre.
The committee met and reviewed progress to date. It was decided to hold an EGM on Monday 12th August to finalise our club’s location for the 2019/2020 playing season. Members are invited to Clareville on that night to decide on the season ahead. All members are asked to attend to participate in the decision making process.
In the meantime chess playing in Clareville continues on these nights from 7.30pm until 11pm:
- Monday 29th July club night
- Tuesday 6th August – Fun Blitz night
- Monday 12th August – EGM
- Monday 19th August- club night
Please note the Fun Blitz night is on Tuesday 6th August because the club will be closed on the Bank Holiday Monday. Please email your name to me if you wish to enter the Fun Blitz,
The Committee very much appreciates the support of all members during this period of transition,

We ask all members to visit the premises so we can have feedback as to how it suits.
Also since it is a residential area we ask all members to be respectful and quiet while leaving the premises.
