Blackpool Chess Club meets every Monday at 7.30pm, and during the league playing season Fyle League home matches will also be played on these nights. Members and guests make full use of the cricket club bar; the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed and prospective members and those with a genuine interest in the game are welcome to attend. When there are no league matches, members relax by playing friendly games.
