Barnby Dun Bishops
Barnby Dun Bishops
- Located: Barnby Dun Social Club, DN3 1DS
- Dates: Most Mondays (7:30pm) unless away.
Tucked away from the busy streets of Doncaster, you will find this a welcoming home for regulars and visitors alike, and if you are a snooker fan there are two full sized tables in the very spacious front room.
The chess itself is played typically in the quiet side room, or sometimes in the function room at the back, as seen in the picture taken during a match night, where two rapid games were underway whilst other players awaited their opponents return from the bar.
The bar staff are always friendly and accommodating. There is sufficient parking available and the club has wheelchair-friendly access.
We are always welcome to new players, who will be guaranteed to get placement within the squad as frequently as they're comfortable with.
If you are a keen chess player in the Doncaster area and looking for a fresh challenge, please feel free to contact the club if you have any inquiries.

Doncaster Junior Chess Club
Welcome to the Doncaster Junior Chess Club
Our exciting and friendly junior chess club meets on Thursday evenings (5:30 to 7:15) at Mexborough Methodist Church and Community Centre (next to Windhill Primary School). Ran by volunteers including group leader Sean McDonald (a local teacher) the club prides itself on inclusivity and positivity. Sessions involve a small social element where members can catch up with their friends, before dedicated lessons time and game time. The final 15 minutes are always used for a fun, energetic activity such as Tig to help burn off the steam of focusing and promote team camaraderie.
