It is also hoped that Aylsham Library Chess Group will be able to resume on Wednesday mornings from September. John Wickham (Chair of Aylsham Chess Club and Norfolk County Chess Association) commented: “It seems that a lot of people have taken up chess during lockdown mainly playing against others in their bubble or over the internet. Hopefully, this initiative will give people the chance to try playing against other chess enthusiasts before deciding whether to join a club for the 2021-22 season.” To find out more about Norfolk Chess Clubs visit: www.norfolkchess.org/clubs.html To find out more about Aylsham Chess Club and Aylsham Library Chess Group contact Jonathan Reeve (Secretary of Aylsham Chess Club) Tel: 01263-733744 / e-mail: aylshamchessclub@gmail.com
