 Welcome to the NCA Website

You are visitor number: Hit Counter since 3/7/07


Please email me with your comments, errors found, news items etc.

I am particularly interested in receiving news items, and corrections to such things as club details. Pictures of local events are also welcome by e-mail attachment, and a few people have sent me some. However, scanning facilities are available if anyone would care to lend me real pictures.

Another source of local chess news is the NCA Bulletin, published five times a year (Nov, Jan, Mar, May & Sept). Copies of issues 91-103 may be ordered through any NCA club for £5, or posted individually for £6-50, from the editor John Wheeler. (See Old News 05 for a news item about it, and here's a display of past issues).

Latest Local News

[Note that most items which have appeared here, are now on the Old News pages. This prevents this page becoming too cluttered with out of date items. They are moved after approx. four weeks, unless they are still topical.]
