On Saturday, 11th July Radcliffe and Bingham Chess Club took up what has now become its usual spot at the annual Radcliffe Carnival.

Ideally situated in the shade of a couple of tall trees – a blessing given the hot weather – our selection of multi-coloured, large and giant-sized chess sets attracted around a hundred players of all ages and abilities during the course of the afternoon. Competition was intense, with lots of children enthusiastically showing off their skills in checkmating their parents!

Thanks go to the organisers of the Carnival and to RBCC volunteers for a brilliant event.
