Ha! A new forum topic, something to while away the next ten minutes.

I've just written a post about swearing in a church hall after a traumatic blunder, and it got me thinking (the old cogs a'whirlin', braincells a'bashin'). I play chess in some handsome places. My club (Bath) plays at the Clifton Hill School in, oddly enough, Bath. Now those of you familiar with this charming city in South East England will know that it gets it's name, literally, from Roman Baths in the centre, which our ingenius invaders of antiquity located on a hot spring. Ancient history sits aside plush Georgian architecture. The school nestles on the knees of a mighty hill overlooking the vally of Bath, and as I play I see the twinkling city lights spread before me in a bowl. The school itself is a private institution, all gothic imposition and wealth.

This evening I travelled to the villiage of Radstock, to play in a modest modern church with clipped, pleasingly curved lawns leading to an elegant and minimalist holy residence.

You can take your golf courses and stick them up yer arse.

ED.

Oh yeah, discussion - where does everyone else play?

I play in a small older restraunte :D.  It's no school in the brilliant city of Bath, but it certaintly keeps us out of the rain.
