The Ministry Of Silly Names

Morning all, I will be going through old inactive members and booting out those who no longer have a silly name.

Is there any interest in a vote chess game? It's not something I personally play but if enough people are up for it I can set up a game. If you are interested drop me a message, or comment here or in the club notes
