Welcome to The Canterbury Junior Chess Club

Welcome to the web site of the Canterbury Junior Chess Club. Our Club is one of the largest junior chess clubs in Victoria. We are closely tied to the long standing Box Hill Chess Club that is one of the oldest and most successful surviving suburban chess clubs in the Melbourne Metropolitan area. We share the venue, the tournaments and members. Both clubs are affiliated to Chess Victoria the governing body of chess in Victoria.

We have some of the top Victorian juniors playing at the club but we also have a large number of novices bringing the total to well over one hundred. The club actively supports the development of junior chess through junior coaching programs on Tuesdays and Sundays as well as tournaments on Tuesday evenings and Sundays

New members and visitors are welcome at the club and membership and tournament fees are kept at a reasonable level.

We have excellent relations with the Booroondara City Council and we have qualified for several council community grants. We are strongly supported by the local community branch of the Bendigo bank.
Please explore this web site and find out who and where we are and what we do.
