Urgent vacancies for staff continue to exist in most departments, including Administration, Arbitration and in the New Member Department, and Tournament Directors. Please apply via the volunteering page.
The Club continues to exist and thrive by virtue of the small number of members who join the staff and devote a small portion of their time to helping to run the Club. The Board is very grateful for their generosity, and we are all collectively in their debt.

House of Staunton Affiliate Program
Members and visitors to this site are asked to help support the Club by entering the House of Staunton via this graphical link when making their chess purchases.
The House of Staunton Affiliate Program is the latest addition to the Links Page. It provides the Club with a way to generate revenue, whilst continuing to provide a completely free service to all members. There is no profit element. 100% of income is used to cover the running expenses of the Club, and support any chess-related initiatives undertaken by the Club.
The only way that income is generated for the Club is by:
- clicking on the House of Staunton logo on this page to visit the House of Staunton, and
- making a subsequent purchase.
You can, of course, click the link to visit the House of Staunton and browse the site without making a purchase. But if you subsequently decide to purchase something from House of Staunton, you can help support the Club by again entering the site via the logo on this page.
