Steve is also our 1st team captain in both Cannock and North Staffs leagues.

As well as being one of our most active players in competitive chess, Steve is a keen organiser of fun events in the club, and a willing coach for new members.

David has been an active league player since joining our club, quickly establishing himself in all our league and cup teams.

David can pull a win out of the hat with his favoured opening (his own secret weapon), but is probably better known for being able to grind out a draw.

Ken is also our Webmaster and 1st team captain in the Wolverhampton league.  Until recently he was also trournament secretary for several years.

He has dabbled with many openings and defensive systems over the years, but is more at home in an endgame.

Peter is one of the longest standing members of our club,  joining 6 years before the introduction of the world wide web, while Garry Kasparov was dominating the World chess scene.

A regular 2nd team captain in various leagues and cups over the years and a keen quizzer, but not on chess night!

Jack has been one of the most regular faces at our club nights in the last couple of years. 

He quickly volunteered to serve on our committee, and has a keen interest in promoting our club through various social platforms.

Glen recently took on the role of Tournament Secretary and is keen to continue with the  traditional, as well as emerging chess formats.

Glen's fresh outlook is also evident in his game, where he enjoys moderns openings such as the London System, or opening novelties such as 'the egg'.
