Welcome to a new season at Seaton Chess Club and greetings to our new members!
We had our first club night on 2nd October 2024 and it was decided that to accommodate everyone's availability and ensure we have sufficient numbers to make the club an engaging chess environment, we will start to meet fortnightly.
Our next club night will therefore be 16th October 2024 so, no club meeting on the 9th October 2024.
We may revise this as the season progresses so please keep an eye on the club Calendar for news of future meetings.
Just to confirm that the first night of the new season will be on Wed 2nd October 2024 so please try and make it for that first evening so we can welcome the potential new joiners and set the schedule for further meetings.
As always, we will be meeting in the Gateway, Seaton (1st floor on right hand side) ready for a prompt start at 6.30pm.
We are excited to announce that we will be running our 2nd Jurassic Rapidplay on Sat 16th November 2024!
The event will be held in Axmouth Village Hall, Devon, with an estimated total prize fund of over £300!
This will be a 6 round 1 day event with 20 min + 10 sec per player. The event will start at 10am and run to around 5.30pm.

The 12th Jurassic Blitz took place on the 27th March 2024 with a field of 12 coming with some players coming from Exeter and as far as Kingsbridge!
Luke Honey won the event with 5/6 closely followed by Steve Dean on 4.5/6.
Paul, Reece and Jon shared 3rd prize with 4/6.
Results and final rankings can be found here.
There were many other additional gradings prizes so most everyone went home with a prize!
