Wollongong Chess Club - Go The Gong!

Contact & Joining

Just turn up

The easiest way to join is to come along on a Tuesday evenings. We meet from 6:30pm at the Wollongong Collegians Auditorium, 3A Charlotte Street, Wollongong. Bring nothing; boards, clocks and a friendly opponent are all provided.

Club nights are open to high school age and above, because we play inside a licensed club. Strong younger players can apply to join us early, and there is plenty of chess for everyone else in the meantime; the FAQ covers both.
