The Birmingham and District Chess League (BDCL) has
been in existence for just over a hundred years, the centenary being celebrated in the
1996-97 season with a variety of events and specially designed memorabilia.
Generally the purpose of the League is to encourage the study and playing of Chess by
organising team and individual championships amongst its members. Membership of the league
is confined to clubs who have their club rooms no more than 12 miles from Birmingham city
centre (for accuracy Stephenson Place). This means that clubs can be as far apart as
Stourbridge and Tamworth, but with our Motorway system (?) all areas are within easy
reach. Chess Clubs have to pay an annual fee to become members and in return they receive
handbooks for each member of their team(s) and regular League bulletins,
approximately 8½
in a season, with match results and up to date League positions. It is hoped that we will
be able to include all this information on this site.
Every year a Committee is elected to oversee the smooth running of the league and to deal
with any problems that might arise, to this end they are assisted by various subcommittees
such as the rules committee and the tournament committee.
