York Chess Club
I'm potentially moving to York within the next 6 months so I'm hoping to join York Chess Club. Ideally in the Yorkshire League and a York team in the evening league from September onwards. Does anyone have a main contact for enquiries in the area? I've not played OTB for quite some time but I am hoping to return next season.

Re: York Chess Club
Thanks John. I did use the contact form on that page some months ago and never received a response so I wondered if it was still active.

Who was York's strongest player ever?

Re: York Chess Club
James Adair must be "up there" I guess.

Re: York Chess Club
Likely James Adair, yes. Richard Palliser and Simon Ansell for fairly close competition.
Before then it was apparently David Adams & Paul Townsend on the top boards for ever. No idea about way back in history but I'd be surprised.
Anyway there are loads of Woodhouse teams (3 for adults currently, 2 juniors) and also a very much alive evening league. Maybe try and contact an evening league team in the first instance?
The Woodhouse teams are a slightly emphemeral set up outside the league matches.

Re: York Chess Club
I don't suppose York still play the annual "Roses Match" against Lancaster?
Started as an annual thing (originally in September) in 1983 and was still going strong in the noughties.
