Anyone is welcome to attend our club events. For some matches against other universities, we will require you to be a matriculated member of the university to play. If you represent the uni or find yourself coming to our events often (especially classes and league matches) we will ask you to pay one of our two membership rates:
- Yearly Membership: £15
- Life Membership: £25
You can either pay in cash at any of our events, via online banking, or via PayPal.
Our PayPal page can be found at https://www.paypal.me/oucc. Please write a note stating your name and confirming your selection of length of membership.
Alternatively, use the sort code 40-35-34 and account number 90632937 and use a reference stating your name and desired length of membership.
ECF Membership
If you want to play regularly for our teams then we are required to charge you £3 per match for every game after your first unless you join the English Chess Federation at Bronze level or above. You can join the ECF online at www.englishchess.org.uk.
To be eligible to play our matches for free we need to know that you are an ECF member - contact our Treasurer once you have joined.
