Nottingham Central Chess Club

As you’ll have figured out from the title, the club has moved again. We’re now based at the King William IV pub. Full details are on the location page.

Sorry this article is a bit late coming. Also, sorry it’s going to be quite brief. En passant, note that I did update the location page quite a while ago (very soon after the move, which happened early in October) so the venue/location details on that page have remained correct all along.

I’m pleased to report that we are very happy with our new home - it seems to have somehow injected new enthusiasm into the club!

So far the web address is still named after our previous venue, but that should be catching up fairly soon.

The club’s web site has a face lift! Well, at least a change of style. The change of style is a result of moving the site to run under the Wordpress blogging software, a technical change that gives us a couple of advantages:

• It makes updating of regular pages much easier
• It makes it easy to have a blog on the site, this making it easy to post news and updates

The way the site looks will almost certainly change a little in the near future - and the current look is just to facilitate making the change and get it up and running using its new hosting technology. In fact, the look may well change quite a lot!

This is the text of the home page of the old web site - before it got the face lift to the new look

Welcome

Welcome to the web site of the Navigation Chess Club - a chess club based just on the outskirts of Nottingham (England, UK) city centre.

Games

With the new season well underway, more and more games are being played. Also, Navigation Chess Club Games have moved to their own dedicated site which can be found here.

Yet Another Change of Venue

Unfortunately, the club has once again found it necessary to change venue. As of 20 September 2005 we are based at The Navigation. After this date all club nights will take place at, and all matches will be played at our new venue. For details of its location please view our location page.

This move has been necessary because our previous venue would not allow juniors on the premises. Many Nottingham chess club (and surrounding area) teams include juniors, so a venue that will not allow them on the premises is obviously impractical. The Navigation does not have a problem with admitting juniors to play in chess matches.
