@Carl_Portman Norm wants to put a statue of himself standing like this, made out of platinum

@KingstonChess congratulations @IMPeterLarge and the @KingstonChess team from Norm and all the other landing lights at penistone chess club

[Penistone Chess Club @PenistoneChess]

there was plenty of drama last night as the landing lights of penistone chess club took on a team of children at Busy Bees Nursery: 6 v 6 with two games each... unfortunately penistone lost the match 12-0... Norm was unhappy as a child sneezed in his hair and put him off

it is possible that we will be taking a few more promotional pictures soon to help boost the image of penistone chess club... this was Norms idea and so we have to go along with it... lets all give Norm a big thumbs up for his efforts 🖕

@Carl_Portman Alan Sugar is looking well

[Penistone Chess Club @PenistoneChess]

@lularobs it looks as though black is in serious doggy doo doo

[Penistone Chess Club @PenistoneChess]

hello again twitter... penistone chess club is back online after a two month ban after we accidentally re-posted a picture of a gentleman sausage... we are sorry to have caused offence and have learnt our lesson... we have lots of news at the club to share 🖕

[Penistone Chess Club @PenistoneChess]

due to a miscommunication, our friendly match with West Stow Chess Club will now take place this saturday at 3 o'clock on valentines day... it is Norms 80th birthday and there will be a pre-match buffet prepared by Norms missus and one or two other volunteers

[Penistone Chess Club @PenistoneChess]

our president Norm Fisk will turn 80 years old next week on valentines day, so to celebrate next friday we have invited a team of six players from a small club in cambridgeshire to take on six penistone players captained by Norm...
the cambridgeshire team is West Stow Chess Club

[Penistone Chess Club @PenistoneChess]

@Carl_Portman Norm was very proud and said he deserved to win the trophy... nobody was prepared to argue with him... once Peter Small challenged Norm and wound him up, so Norm stuck a bishop up Peters nose... he has his foibles but Norm is our Henry the Fifth

[Penistone Chess Club @PenistoneChess]

on friday penistone chess club held a small blitz tournament... unfortunately there were a few disputes as it is difficult to play blitz with analogue clocks... the top three players were tied but our president Norm Fisk declared himself the winner as he grabbed the trophy first

[Penistone Chess Club @PenistoneChess]

@KingstonChess wow that is fantastic... well done @IMPeterLarge... Norm also won a blitz tournament on friday and sends his regards

[Penistone Chess Club @PenistoneChess]

yesterday the woman we had been warned about did in fact turn up at penistone chess club... we had cleaned our pieces but unfortunately the woman had arrived by accident... she was looking for penistone cheese & wine club instead... Norm did not know about this and wants to join

[Penistone Chess Club @PenistoneChess]

some big news will be coming out of penistone chess club soon... stay tuned ♟️

[Penistone Chess Club @PenistoneChess]

@IMPeterLarge that is good news @IMPeterLarge... there is still life in the old dog yet

[Penistone Chess Club @PenistoneChess]

given that there will be a woman attending penistone chess club tonight, we have asked all our members to shower in advance and Keith has volunteered to wash our chess pieces... some have not been cleaned since 1999 and may contain rare diseases

[Penistone Chess Club @PenistoneChess]

@KingstonChess wow, that is an unusual idea... we are not sure it would work at penistone chess club as illegal moves like this are made on too frequent a basis

[Penistone Chess Club @PenistoneChess]

big news... there have been murmurings that a woman will be attending penistone chess club this friday... it is only the second time a woman has ever attended the club... we will not make the same mistake as before and will keep Clive and Keith on a tight leash

[Penistone Chess Club @PenistoneChess]

@Carl_Portman unfortunately it is not Norms decision

[Penistone Chess Club @PenistoneChess]

@Carl_Portman our president Norm Fisk often gets into trouble with his missus for burning the casserole on thursday nights... sometimes she does not let him attend penistone chess club on fridays

[Penistone Chess Club @PenistoneChess]

@thelittlehat we are very glad that you are following our humble penistone chess club @thelittlehat... if you ever decide to come along please let us know so we can sanitise our pieces in advance, as some of them have not been cleaned since 1999
