BIRMINGHAM & DISTRICT CHESS LEAGUE

This is intended to be a place where you can view past bulletins from 2000 to 2010 and match records after bulletins ceased being produced. BDCL Rapidplay winners are given below.

There is now a memories page, where I would like to put any intersting stories or anecdotes. This page also contains links to the many tributes that have been submitted over the years to former players, such information seems too significant o lose track of.
