Chichester Chess Club is grateful for the generosity of the families of Peter Rayment, Ray Williams and Alex Miller for the donation of the books listed below.
The books are in two categories – ‘At the Club’ and ‘Off Site’ , due to space.
Members can borrow any book At the Club on a club night, but please inform Bill McDougall (either in person or at billmcdougall8@gmail.com) whenever you withdraw or return a book so we can keep track of the status.
Currently the Openings Books are in the large cardboard box, the others in two carrier bags.
For Off Site books please contact Steve Smith.
