Teams Championship (Rose Bowl) - Wed 4th November

We're holding the club's teams championship competition on Wednesday 4th November, at the club, at 7.15pm. 

It will be run as a single session of 24-28 boards (depending on the number of teams). All members of all abilities are welcome to take part. Non-members are also welcome to play, but teams containing non-members aren't eligible to win the competition/trophy. 

Please make sure that you have a team as this event is not hosted. Contact the Team Mates Secretary if you would like help with finding team mates.  

Entry fee £4.00 per player, payable by card when you arrive at the club.

OBC and the Oxford Traffic Filters

From 28th September 2026 the Oxford Temporary Congestion Charge has been replaced by the Oxford Traffic Filters trial. As with the Congestion Charge, access by car to the club is not affected significantly by the traffic filters. There aren’t any filter locations on either the Woodstock or Banbury Roads so access from the north is completely free.  There is a filter location on the Marston Ferry Road but it only operates 7am- 9am and 3pm - 6pm Monday to Saturday. Therefore those coming to either a morning or evening session will not be affected if they use Marston Ferry Road.  However members who would previously have travelled through the centre of Oxford to get to the club will have to pass at least one of the filter locations in the city centre that all operate every day 7am - 7pm.
