Welcome to Stratford Chess Club

Membership fees for 2025-26 season.

Membership fees for the 2025-26 season.

Following on from this year’s AGM I have to inform you that the membership fee for the coming season is £80.

Membership fees are due on 1st August 2025.

The preferred method of payment is by electronic bank transfer to:
Stratford Chess Club.  Account number:  94084505. Sort code: 602041.

Please reference your payment with your name.


If you are unable to use bank transfer please let me know by email, and I will send you a link to pay by bank card, or failing this see me at the club to arrange an alternative method of payment.

If you wish to pay your fees in two instalments you can do this by paying £42 before 1st August and then a further payment of £42 on 1st January.

Once payment has been made you will be eligible to play in the Leamington Chess league, as long as you have current ECF membership.

Please let me know if you wish to be included in a team.

There will be 4 teams this season.  One in Division 1,  one in Division 3,  and two in Division 4.

Team members will be selected using the August ECF rating lists.

Regards,  Richard.
