club’s opening times

Due to the recent death of Mr Roy Bourne it has been necessary to review the club’s opening times for the week commencing 8 January for this week only The Clubs opening hours will remain 1PM to 10 PM. However, the club will only be unlock at two o’clock unless it has been prearranged by a member to open the club at 1pm
the club will close at six pm unless it has been prearranged by a member for the club to remain open longer
if any member requires the use of the club between 1 PM and 2 PM or after 6 PM they must contact the chairman to ensure this is available to them 24 hours in a advance, otherwise you may well find that the club is not open.
I apologised to the inconvenience but as you will appreciate, security is important and with nobody on hand to open or close the club, it is a massive inconvenience to the people having to do it
these arrangements will be reviewed at the next committee meeting on 15 January

Chairman

Mr Roy Bourne

It is with much regret. I have to inform the membership of the death Of our housekeeper Mr Roy Bourne
Roy died on 1 January and was found in his flat on the evening of 2 January
Roy was 61 although yet to be determined it appears he died of natural causes
Roy as been the housekeeper of the club for approximately 8 years taking over from his wife when she died she the had been housekeeper for approximately 15 years and before that a long-time member
Roy carried out his duties for the club in a quiet, unassuming way but failing health in recent years did make that sometimes sporadic.
I’m sure all the club members will have their own memories of Roy and I will keep you informed to what the arrangements are for his funeral
needless to say I’m sure he will be missed by all  as another chapter in the club’s history closes

Marc A Bryant

FW: MSCL Div 1 Lewes 1 v Hastings 1 28 November 2017Hi all,Just a quick update as I was busy with my own game and didn’t have much of a chance to look at the other games.Francis was feeling really unwell when we arrived but then went on play probably his best game of the season to record a very nice thematic win in an English. John was probably holding but apparently made some errors towards the time control and has probably adjourned in a lost position. I had a nagging edge throughout the middle game and reached  a level material knight and bishop ending with a 2-1 queenside majority. I am not sure that it was completely sound but I sacked a pawn to activate my King and reach what I hoped was a winning knight and pawn ending. My opponent eventually gave up his Knight for my passed b pawn and in the adjourned position I am clearly winning with Knight and 3 pawns versus his 4 pawns. Henry was apparently in trouble in his game at some point but made an opportune draw offer, which was accepted, with both players having a number of moves to make with little time to reach the time control.  Brendan played a delayed Wing Gambit in a Sicilian and reach what looked to be a crushing position. However instead of maintaining a strong bind and improving his position he played a small combination which won a piece for a couple of doubled pawns but left his Knight on a8 with no means of escape. His opponents pieces sprung into life, regaining the piece, and soon obtaining a won position.So it s a 2.5 – 2.5 draw which although not being what we hoped for, bearing in mind that we out-graded then on every board, could easily have been even worse.RegardsHoward
