Socially distanced W&WCC

Wanstead House will re-open on Tuesday 1 September and we are ready to resume our club meetings on that date.

There are three documents you need to be familiar with:

  1. Privacy Notice which has been updated to include Track & Trace, online activity and the change from grading to rating following the introduction of 4 digit ratings
  2. Return to chess which includes Wanstead House rules at Appendix 3 and how to play with 2 boards
  3. Socially distanced WWCC which includes the Club’s new attendance rules.

Until further notice, we are limited to an attendance of 18 in our Club Room. In the event of sufficient greater demand on any particular Tuesday to cover the increased cost, we currently have the option of hiring an additional room to meet such demand.

To ensure that the attendance limit is not breached and to help the Covid-19 subcommittee manage demand each week you must register in advance should you wish to attend the next session. Generally, this will be on a first come, first served basis, though if any one session is oversubscribed you will be able to indicate your next desired attendance so that we can cater for as many members as possible. We will continue to welcome new members. Parents will need to register on behalf of their child(ren) as safeguarding considerations and management have changed.

Registration is an online process, accessible from the link below:

Open registration form

You will need to complete this registration form for each week you wish to attend.

Attendance data will be processed in accordance with the revised Privacy Notice and kept until 21 days after the end of the financial year or the completion of the independent examination of the accounts, whichever is the later.

Please endeavour to pay board fees by bank transfer (as well as your club subscription) so that cash handling is kept to an absolute minimum. The Treasurer will be able to reconcile advanced payments with the registration forms.

On completion of the online form you will receive a green notification on screen message so that you know that it has been received. You will be notified by a separate communication as to whether your application has been successful.

Registration is now open for the 1st September.

Your co-operation with the new club arrangements is appreciated.
