Chandler’s Ford Chess Club was created in the 2015/2016 Chess season, when Eastleigh Railway chess club moved venues. In addition this was really an amalgamation of the original Eastleigh Unity, Eastleigh British Rail and Stoke Social chess clubs. Eastleigh Unity prior to this was Stoneham Park via Cricketers Arms (which was when I joined).
Safe to say of all the venues the members all agree that our current venue is the best, with a great relationship with the Chandler’s Ford Central Club and the club currently has over 40 members with five teams in the Southampton Chess League.
The majority of these photos are from Keven Lamb, although there will be a few from other sources. If you have any photos from the clubs which make up Chandler’s Ford please supply and I will add.
