Since the piece went out, we’re up to 17 sign-ups — plenty to start a weekly chess night. We’re still working behind the scenes on venue options and speaking with the Worcestershire Chess Association (WCA) & the English Chess Federation (ECF).
Please keep spreading the word — every share helps!

A few of us spent time in town reviewing possible venues. Nothing set in Evesham stone yet, but we had a lovely time chatting to people and scoping out spaces. We’re writing a report on the venues to send out to possible members.
The interest list keeps growing — thank you! We’d love to hear from even more players (beginners to seasoned).

Let’s bring real, over-the-board chess to Evesham — together!
Inspired by Evesham’s proud heritage, our logo is a modern take on the town’s coat of arms. A crowned gold king chess piece represents leadership; wheat sheaves echo the Vale of Evesham; a gold bell honours the Bell Tower; and stylised feathers reference Henry V, who granted the town its charter. Together, these elements root the club in Evesham’s rich history.
