Newcastle Chess Club AGM: Mon 18 December

Hi everyone,

You are warmly invited to attend the inaugural Newcastle Chess Club Annual General Meeting from 6:45-7:15pm on Monday 18 December.

It takes place at Newcastle Chess Club’s usual venue: Room 1, Floor 2, Tyneside Irish Centre, 44 Gallowgate, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 4SG.

The meeting is open both to full club members (anyone who intends to play for Newcastle Chess Club in league and other events) plus associate members (anyone who wants to take part in club evenings and internal club tournaments, but plays for another club in competitions and/or just wants to come along and enjoy a social game of chess).

We plan to keep the meeting pretty brief and informal, so that we can enjoy the Christmas Party Blitz later in the evening.

The Agenda will be:
1. Election of a chair for the meeting
2. Attendance and apologies for absence
3. Adoption of Club Constitution (copies of the draft Constitution will be available online and at the meeting)
4. Proposed Membership Fees for 2023-24: £20 adult waged, £10 unwaged/junior/retired/associate member; £2 cover charge for attending the Monday club evenings; £4 to attend Junior Club sessions (at Jesmond Library on Sundays, 2:30pm-4:30pm)
5. Reports about club activities:
A) League matches
B) Junior Club (at Jesmond Library)
C) City Library social chess drop-in (Saturdays, 11am-1pm)
D) Club tournaments
6. Election of officers (Volunteers very welcome!):

You are very welcome to come along and support Newcastle Chess Club as we get established and grow in the future!
