Players who wore the delay in round 2 with good grace were fantastic at the end helping to clear away very quickly

@LewishamChess win the South East London Event against @CharltonChess and @BromleyChess. 50 players across the clubs participated on the online blitz event over lichess. Happy New Year to all.
Lewisham and Beckenham played in the Pitt Yavash annual friendly last night. We managed to win the game 10-8, in what was a very close match.
It was an amazing turnout and showed the full potential of our new room.
It should continue to become a good season opener.
