We meet every Monday from 4-7pm at Harvest Fresh, and our members and guests are invited to enjoy the game we love as well as Harvest Fresh’s environmentally friendly cleaning products, herbs, supplements, soups, a wide assortment of deli selections, party trays, organic pet foods and products, many bulk items, and more. Shop local and we all win!
We’ll have club-provided sets and clocks (first-come, first-served) and the McMinnville Chess Library, a curated collection of books, magazines, and equipment available to our members to check out and take home to aid their journey in the game that we love. Guests are welcome to browse the Chess Library, and we welcome donations to the library at our events.
(Check out our calendar of events! We also meet every Wednesday evening at Mac Market and on the 1st & 3rd Saturdays at The Velvet Monkey Tea Shop.)

WHAT TO BRINGPlease bring a chess board and clock (if you have them). The more boards there are, the more people can play. Chess clocks are welcome but not necessary. The “Chess Clock by Chess.com” app is good to use in a pinch.
