The Braunstone Chess Club was founded on Tuesday 21st April 1942 and 70 years later on Saturday 21st April 2012, a celebration was held at the Civic Centre. There was much feasting and lots of horseplay - mainly with knights over the board. Will the Braunstone Chess Club survive the next 70 years - watch this space! Report by John Oliver.
