Why not wander into your local - perhaps The Hunter's Inn - with a chess board and set. Buy a pint, set up the board, and see if you can lure anyone into a game. Hey presto! You have the beginnings of a chess club in Tewksbury. You can work on accreditation later.

I didn't appreciate that. Could he go into a pub with his parents - and not buy any alcohol?

Offence not intended, but aren't pubs that don't serve food only meant to allow 18+ in them (ie part of the licensing laws instead of the sale of alcohol to minors)? I was pretty sure that was the law.. The problem is that you're not likely to get a game in a Wetherspoon's or one of the mainstream pubs that does food, partly because of the layout and partly because of the clientelle.

kco keeps beating me up on the board as well! Help! 
Under 'best chess advice', it mentioned that, when playing a stranger in a bar, let him castle first - then copy whatever style of castling he uses e.g. swapping king and rook positions.
ok lets have a look

i really enjoy chess,but i never get a chance to play it, so it would be lovely if we had a chess club in Tewkesbury so we can play chess all the time but only if it was on a "SUNDAY"

rexbo : where did the club end up playing? at home? at school? in the local pub(!)?
mathsart : have you considered playing chess on school premises?
