I have just been informed that everybody intending to play the 1st Big Slick International Chess event must be a member of the club, and it takes 48 hours to join. Under the terms of their licence, there is a mandatory 48hr waiting rule. You can join up at the following link:

If you do not want to play poker, then you don’t have to pay the £25 joining fee. If you do wish to play poker, the £25 is payable and will be deposited onto a BS Online Poker account for you. This fee is separate to the entrance fee to the chess event.

On arrival at the club, all new members must provide ID – we can only accept passport or driving licence.

To register for the online poker room then click on the following link:
