Some of you know that Preston Chess Club is currently “homeless”, because of the previous venue shutting down unexpectedly in December.
Preston is looking for a new “home”, and we hope to have this resolved in the next few weeks. We have secured a temporary home for Preston at the Holiday Inn, next to the Bus Station.
For the next three Wednesdays, Chess Club will take place in the Holiday Inn Hotel next to the bus station.
Wednesday 15th, 22nd and 29th January.
Head upstairs to the right of reception to the bar area. The room is called “Ribblesdale” and the entrance is to the right of the bar in the back. Car parking is on a first come first server basis – enter your registration number at reception to avoid being fined. But because of the limited number of parking places, you will probably not get in. The map shows 3 markers, two with potential off-street parking. Hover over the icon for details – be mindful that there are a few one-way systems in the area, so advice, if turning up, is to arrive early.
- If coming from the North down the A6 turn right onto A59 then immediately left onto High Street which is very small for a road with such a name.
- If coming up the A59 from the South, turn right before Holiday Inn into Tithebarn Street, then follow one way system round to Ormskirk Road PR12DX.
- There is also parking in St Pauls Square, then cross road via pedestrian foot bridge.
