Hobell Library has a New Home

Andrew Ponting has agreed to host the Hobell library and to make it available for club members to borrow.  He's also agreed to make his own library available to borrow (one at a time!).

Members wishing to borrow something should contact Andrew in advance (see a committee member if you don't already have his email - it contains the word makiko) and arrange either to pop round to his place, or to meet on a club night.

The Hobell library books (see index) will remain property of the club, whilst Andrew's library (list to follow) will remain his property.

If other members are willing to make their libraries available, please do so.  Between us this could become a valuable resource.

John Lewin,

Hobell Library

The club has a library of chess books which were donated by the family of Richard Hobell, who died some years ago.  There is a listing of these books on the site.

As we are no longer able to store the books, the committee has agreed that they should be distributed to club members.  It is hoped that members taking books would make a donation to club funds, but this is voluntary.

I will be bringing the books to club evenings over the next few weeks.  If you are interested in any specific ones, I will endeavour to reserve them.
