CHESS CLUB

The Chess club was formed at TGS in 1946

Under the guidance of Mr. Topham it went from strength to strength, and it was with deep regret that the club heard that Mr. Topham would be resigning his leadership due to the "Onus of his present position`. Mr. Dyos was to take over as the Clubs leader.
During the 1951 season the Club maintained its record of never having been beaten by another school. the keen enthusiasm of the lower school, and its high standard of play were such that they felt they would have no trouble finding teams to continue and keep such a record.

`Colours` were awarded to players whose outstanding contribution to the Schools Chess team was thought to be of exceptional value.

In 1963/1964 the school were joint winners of the `B` division North Circular Chess League, (The other joint winners were Palmers Green II).
