Dorchester U3A Chess Group
Meetings of the Chess Group have been suspended as of 15 March 2020 until further notice.
Until further notice Members are arranging their own games on the internet.
We have now made contact with other U3A groups around the country and have started playing chess online.
Whether you are a member of the Chess Group or not, if you can play chess and would like to spend an enjoyable hour or so playing a game, contact the Chess Group Leader George Pearce.

The Chess Group was formed in 2008 to provide an opportunity for U3A members to play chess. Our aim is to play and improve our game as well as meeting colleagues and enjoying their company for an hour or two.
Although we play to the rules of chess the atmosphere is informal with the occasional sound of laughter – or a moan - when someone loses a piece or the game!
Members are sent an email a couple of days before each meeting with the latest local U3A news. If you would like to join us contact George Pearce, the telephone number and email address are in the Newsletter.
There is DIY tea and coffee available with all proceeds going to the Somerset and Dorset Air Ambulance charity.
With no further meetings planned at present the Timetable has been removed.
