The club play in four leagues. These being the Bolton & District Chess League, the Central Lancashire Chess League, the Manchester Chess Federation and the Warrington and District Chess League.

Our club serves the needs of chess players in the Atherton, Leigh, Tyldesley and Westhougton areas, although we have members from even further afield.
