Gungahlin (formerly Belconnen) Chess Club - New Venue

The Belconnen Chess Club is changing both its venue and its name for 2020. It will now be known as the Gungahlin Chess Club, and will be meeting at the Eastlake Gungahlin, 51 Hinder St Gungahlin.
The day and time will still be Tuesday 7pm.
The move has come about due to a change in access policy at out old venue. Talk of a move to Gungahlin (where a lot of members live) has been happening for a while, but with the need for a new playing space, the decision has been made.
BTW this is the 7th venue the club has had in the last 40 years. Previous venues were Belconnen Library, Belconnen Labor Club, Norths Rugby Union Club, Wests Rugby Union Club, Belconnen Community Centre, and University of Canberra.
The advantage of the new venue is location (a walk from the Light Rail station and Gungahlin Busses), plenty of parking, and access to drinks and dining facilities. The first club night will be Tuesday 4th February, and we expect a big turnout of old and new members.
