LATEST NEWSMAY 17: It is with sadness we report the death of Gary Cox, who was a long-serving former member of the chess club. Gary, who passed away earlier this year, was an enthusiastic player, who took part in inter-club tournaments and also played for the county. Although no longer a current Bognor club member, he played chess regularly on the internet.
MAY 14 Bognor/Chichester C duly wrapped up the third division title with a thumping 4.5-.5 victory over their closest challengers, Portsmouth C. Scores: C Squires 1-0 S Russell; A Miller 1-0 P Eyles; B Partridge 0.5 A Bucchi; M Plumb 1-0 B Cochran; M Spence 1-0 A Colthup. Captain Mike steered the team to the number one spot, which Portsmouth could have denied them only if they had won 5-0. The clubs have won the division 1 and 3 titles again this season. MAY 11: Bognor/Chichester lost their Cole Cup Plate Final against Cosham 4-1 - but the match was far closer than the result suggests. A road accident on the A27 meant Bognor players were heavily delayed, and lost a lot of time on the clocks. Result: 1.Jaimie Wilson 0-1 D.Cordner; 2.Andrew McDougall 1-0 R.Puchades; 3.Steve Smith 0-1 A.D.Smith; 4.M.Spence 0-1 R.Chomicki; 5.C.Squires 0-1 G.Feltham.
