We’ll be fielding teams in the London, Thames Valley and Surrey Leagues in the 2023-24 season. Our London League team is for stronger players, while our Thames Valley League teams cater for players of all strengths. Our top Surrey team is now in their third division, and suitable for players rated in the region of 1700-2000. We also run teams in lower divisions of the Surrey League to give new members more opportunities for match practice.

Our TVA, B and C, and Surrey teams will be playing home matches on Tuesday evenings at the Adelaide, Teddington. Our D and E teams, which are run separately, play their matches at the Twickenham Club. Details of away venues will be found on the league websites or available from your match captain.

Note that Divisions 1-3 in the Thames Valley League remain at 6 boards this season. Division X will be played over 4 boards.
