Meet the
Chess Club
Belfast Central Library’s Chess Club
meet every Tuesday from 11:00am.
There are currently 15-20 active
members, both men and women,
and everyone is welcome. No need
to book ahead, no experience
necessary and refreshments are
provided. Paul from the group
explained that “it’s a great way to
make friends, supports good mental
health and provides much needed
social contact.” He said “the chess
club meets with no expectations or
demands, people just show up when
they can and have a chat, a laugh,
play some chess and unwind. For it
to be in a safe and warm space with
tea and co昀昀ee and the friendly sta昀昀
makes it all the better.”
