Some bright young things have very laudably put some money and effort into starting off a new drop-in chess club in Central London. Its first event is an opening "party" starting 6pm on 26th January at the BFI lobby, 21 Stephen St, off Tottenham Court Rd, W1T 1LN. Or if you're on Facebook, click here.

Every woodpusher in town is invited, along with some others who have graduated beyond that self-deprecatory accolade. I hope it succeeds.
Maybe see you on the 26th?
