Welcome to our chess club site! The club has been established for years . Originally 'The Lucas & Birmingham Settlement Chess Club' and 'The West Midlands Municipal Chess Club'. The two clubs merged in 2003 to form the Birmingham Settlement Chess Club. The Birmingham Settlement building that was used for a club room closed and we moved to St George's Church Russel house.
We have teams in Divisions 3 & 5 of the Birmingham and district chess league, and Divisions 1 & 2 of the Wolverhampton League. Our club caters for all standards from complete beginners to advanced players.
Our warm and friendly atmosphere for both competitive and leisure games is only matched with our love for the game! Visit us at Church Hall, St George's Church, Bridge Street West, Newtown, B19 2YX.
