In 1998 it was considered worthwhile to recognise the significant effort of voluntary workers in the Metropolitan Chess Club.
Without their continuing work, the Club would not operate effectively. It is through these people that the Club has become the largest chess club in Western Australia. Our membership has more than doubled in the last ten years. The increase from 30 in 1995 to 66 in 2005 is testimony to the organisational skills of the committee members during that time. At this stage our membership has been limited to 70 due to the size of the club rooms.
There have of course been many members who served tirelessly during the Club’s existence, being established in 1959. The Metropolitan Chess Club has recognised four of those members by conferring Life Membership on them. The members are Allan Respini (dec.), Robert Pilgrim, John Butcher and Vic Smyth.
