SCCU/LONDON CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS 2024

[David Gilbert]

The 3rd SCCU/London Club Championships are booked for on Saturday, 22 June 2024 at St Luke’s Church, Kidderpore Avenue, London NW3 7SU.

It’s a six-round team rapid play for Clubs in the SCCU/London area. Teams are formed of four players playing in three sections with Average Ratings of no more than 2100, 1850 & 1600 in the April 2024 list. A & K rapid ratings take precedence, then standard play. Maximum capacity is for 36 teams - entry is £50 per team with a £10 discount before 24 May 2024. There are already five provisional entries. Last year the event was full a month before the start so if your Club intend to enter don’t delay for too long after the April ratings are published.

There’s an entry form on the Southern Counties Chess Union’s website https://sccu-chess.com/index.php/en/
