Hillhead Chess Library Group

Exciting news! A new chess group/venue is starting in the West End of Glasgow next Wednesday (6th April).

Old Montrosian Evis Perdikou has been busily starting up the Hillhead Library Chess Group, and has sent us the following update:

It’s official! Next week on Wednesday will be the first meeting of the Hillhead library group! This will be from 5.30-7.30 pm. Sets and clocks will be provided. Hopefully get 5 tables and this would mean an availability of 20 people max. If more people come then it will be drop in. Will get a table for newcomers/children. The toilet facilities are only available upstairs.

Let me know in the comments if you would like to come along!

Hillhead Library is at 348 Byres Rd, Glasgow G12 8AP (Google Maps).
