From 25th January to 1st February 2025, the BCA was in Weston-super-Mare for our Chess Theme Break. Members who are stronger players coached those with less experience. We also had a tournament and a few games against members of Weston Chess Club. Everyone enjoyed their chess immensely! The audio in this clip is from BBC Radio Bristol, who sent Steve Yabsley along to find out how VI people play chess. The images in the clip are photos taken by members during the week.

Thanks to BBC Radio Bristol for coming to meet us and to all the members who sent in photos!
