Calendar 2025-26 – Wanstead and Woodford Chess Club

Welcome to our new collapsible accordion Calendar; the same “Calendar” pages with which you are familiar, just a different delivery system. The current month is open by default when you select ‘Calendar’ from the menu bar above and remains in bold lettering even if you close it; makes it easier to spot when you want to re-open it.

To expand a month simply click on its title; re-click to collapse. The last month you closed does not regain its background colour until you open another month. You can have as many months or as few months simultaneously expanded as you wish; they don’t have to be consecutive, though you can’t hide intervening months.

Teams abbreviations Key:

LL=London League 1st Team;
CLn, Central London League teams;
ELn, Essex League teams + Essex Minor League (“ELM”);
NCn, North Circular League teams, three Cup Teams:
- LC1 (NCCL Lawrance Cup);
- FC2 and FC3 (NCCL Finchley Cup);
BTn = NCCL Baum Trophy teams (summer Rapid League);
NRn = NCCL U1650 Rapid teams (summer Rapid League);
SUN=Sundry Fixtures;

See London League page for LL Venues.
