A couple of items from the Liverpool Echo
Whatever happened to the rock and roll craze? It didn't last long - did it?

Our club still has one of those very same clocks!
(albeit in the store cupboard, it never actually gets used these days)

Looks like BH Woods famous tin clock. Usually reliable, unless one of the metal flags was bent, in which case you could lose on time, somewhat before the actual Time Control.

Ha! Nothing has changed in 84 years then!
Chester CC is my club these days. It's the club's centenary next year, and we're planning a weekend tourney,
inter alia. This item will doubtless find its way to our website, now I've sent it round the members. Any more clips, if you come across them, I'd be delighted to receive. Meanwhile, many thanks for your research efforts

A rare game played by one of the editors of Modern Chess Openings - and champion of Chester Chess Club.
