Ravenfield Bishops Chess Club

 

Website

https://ravenfieldbishops.weebly.com/ (not updated seemingly since 2016)

Venue

The Master’s House (Next to Butcher's Arms), High Street, Braithwell, Rotherham S66 7AW

Day

Monday

Disabled access

The Master’s House is a listed building, making it near impossible to meet DDA requirements. There is a small step at the front of the building. We have a disabled toilet but unfortunately for access you need to be able to either manage three further steps OR leave the front of the building and re-enter at the rear. We usually play upstairs BUT are able to relocate downstairs to accommodate anyone who is unable to manage stairs. Our doors are quite narrow so it is unlikely a wheelchair user could be accommodated.
