This club is currently the largest (membership) senior chess club in Western Australia
with approximately 70 members. The playing strength of members range from former WA State
Champions, State Junior Champions and Women's State Champions to adult beginners and
juniors.
Naturally, the Metro Club is affiliated with the CAWA (Chess Association of Western
Australia) which in turn is affiliated with the ACF (Australian Chess Federation). Club
members must therefore be financial members of the CAWA to enjoy the benefit of
participating in Australian rated tournaments held at the club.
Many members support the club through representation in the Harris/Edwardes Trophy inter-
club competition. The Metro Club has won the Premier Division on 16 occasions since the
competition began in 1958.
Our members are also keen to play in the WA Grand Prix events that are organised by the
CAWA over selected weekends.
