Sunday Junior Chess Club

New Venue - MC Square in Doncaster (library building)

Owing to the very sad closure of our long-time venue and very good friend St Bridget's Primary School, we have had to move our JCC and JTS programs to a new venue for 2024.

We are delighted to announce that we have, initially for Terms 1 and 2, secured excellent facilities at MC Square at Manningham Council on Doncaster Road in Doncaster (Google Map link)

MC Square is a well-equipped modern building. We have hired 4 separate meeting rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors, some with Audio/Visual facilities. The building has plenty of free basement parking, and Doncaster Library on the Ground Floor is open to the public on Sunday afternoons
