Welcome to Edinburgh Civil Service Chess Club

The Civil Service Chess Club meets at 7.30pm on Wednesdays at Tipperlinn Bowling Club which is located in the grounds of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. We provide a number of internal competitions and also enter teams in both the Edinburgh League and in Scottish National competitions.

New members are welcome to come along whether to play in friendly or competitive games. You do not need to be a civil servant to join!
