This much is true, why do chess clubs always seem to meet in such offensive buildings? British Legion Clubs, Navy or RAF clubs, and Conservative Clubs. Luckily, ours meets in a nice normal pub, and the only other one I ever joined was in a YMCA.

thats so true, i have only been to 1 in a good building.. i went to one (Edmonton) that had a step aerobics class above it til 7.30 it was quite a comedy... The internet has done wonders for chess, there are so many variants now, bullet (chesscube) blitz (chess.com) RHP of course. Plus all the databases and free computers its marvelous for chess.
