Normally a great idea except she doesn't drink and although I drink enough for the both of us experience has taught me to save my extra thirsty moments for separate nights out. There is so much interest in this we could even consider having a RHP OTB pub team and enter a local league as long as it's a play chess first then drink ethos I would be up for that too, would anyone else?

This is definately going to come up in conversation i think, what a great idea!! A virtual chess club in reality, WITH BEER!! A master stroke it is!! 😛

I seriously think we should reconsider both the date and whether we play any chess or not.

There's 5 people I count who can't come if it's on the 5th Nov, it is bonfire night afterall. Could we not do it the weekend after?

And I reckon there should be some chess, even if it's only a couple of people who fancy a game before the main event begins. I for one am dying to prove that I'm not as bad OTB as my rating here suggests...

Well...not quite as bad...maybe...

EDIT: Oh and no girlfriend of mine is coming, you must be joking. Anyone that is sad enough tobring their other half to a chess gathering is in serious need of ECT.

I've just joined a local chess club, but it seems very quiet, only been one night but I was dismayed to see a counter with soft drinks and sweets (not exactly what I was hoping for) and worse no interest in a beer(s) afterwards. How many players would we need for a team (is it 6) there might even be enough for 2 or more teams in london

How far away from Ealing do you live? I play for Ealing chess club. We meet in a pub! It's a very lively club, lot's of tournaments in the summer months. We field some 5 teams in various leagues. If your close, give me a shout and i'll send you the details 🙂

Thanks but I'm in Dorking (surrey) so that extra bit of travelling form central london to ealing would probably be prohibitive to make the last train back regularly, and if I'm honest would be a pain to do it often with work committments etc.

Hmmm, i see your point. I want to set up a 'clan' so that i can easily PM all the people who want to come. We need a vote!!

[b]RUSS - could we set up a vote so people can choose what days they are available? November 5th/12th/19th or 26th would be the options. If it could allow multiple selections so we can find the 'best' date, that would be awesome!![/b]

I'll obviously be in London for a weekend (Friday afternoon 'till Sunday evening).

So, if anybody wants to play chess, go to a film, stroll along the Thames, have a lunch in a pub, wants to discuss the finer points of anal hair over a bottle of bordeux or wants to go out for a meal...
Just PM me nearer the time and we'll get it sorted out.
