Rapidplay Event coming to Wells!!
We are delighted to announce that following the success of the Inaugural Chess Congress in March, Wells will be hosting an Autumn Rapidplay Event on 5th October at Wells Town Hall. We hope to be able to accommodate around 70-80 players on the day. It will be 6 rounds with a time format of 25m with no increments.
We are in the process of creating the booking page for this event so please check in with us towards the end of June and we will have it up and running.
