On 27/08/25 Melton Chess Club, headed by Shaun Cope, hosted a friendly against Bourne Chess Club at their British Legion home venue.
There were many games played on the night, with Bourne fielding a cross-section of the club members including: Sarunas Barstys, Onel Madanayaka, Sam Warner, Matt Bailey, David Hemingway and Tom Ingram.
Melton have an extremely vibrant venue which was well attended and the chess room that they use creates an ideal chess playing environment. Bourne is very grateful to Melton for the hospitality and matches, and hope to see Melton Chess Club again very soon.
