This is the web site of the Norfolk County Chess Association it is intended to provide useful information to members of the NCCA and to people who are interested in playing chess in the County of Norfolk. It is linked to the county magazine En Passant web-site though to get the real value of this super magazine you may be better to subscribe.
The Object of the NCCA is to organise, encourage and promote adult and junior chess throughout Norfolk, including appropriate surrounding areas, and to represent players and clubs from that area by affiliating to the British Chess Federation (BCF) and the East Anglian Chess Union (EACU). The Associations consitution is available here.
Our County sides have done well in recent years. The Captains will usually welcome new faces and you can play for the County at several different levels.
Another group who have done well are the Norfolk Juniors, many of whom have now represented their country.
