Our club for Juniors is run by our members Mark Brougham and Keith Hossack. Our Juniors club is for all ability levels: we are happy to teach beginners the moves, and we welcome all who enjoy playing chess, whether for fun or more competitively. And Hastings and St Leonards Chess Club has plenty of expert members who will be happy to give tips to any budding chess prodigies!
Age groups: The Juniors club is open to all young persons aged five to eighteen who are interested in chess. For five to seven year olds, we ask that a parent or carer accompany the child while they are on the Club premises. Parents who wish to accompany older children are of course very welcome too.
Where: The Juniors club meets in the lower playing room in the Club’s own premises at 2 Cornwallis Terrace, Hastings, TN34 1EB.
Opening times: Friday evenings in school term time, 4.30pm until 6.30 p.m. We reopen after the Easter holidays on 25 April 2025. Then we are open every Friday except 30 May, the school mid-term holiday. We will be closed from 25 July for the Summer holidays, reopening on 5 September 2025.
