Parents should register their kids by emailing Michael at thesouthshorechessclub@gmail.com before attending. The kids chess playing session is from 4 to 5pm on Wednesday.

Adults (5:30pm-8:30pm) can just drop in as long as they know how to play. There’s one entrance to the church at 18 Spear St and participants can contact Michael at thesouthshorechessclub@gmail.com for PIN/QR Code.

The club’s mission is to provide a friendly environment for the promotion of good chess camaraderie and positive community strength, while encouraging traditional OTB games of chess!

The demonstration of good chess etiquette is strongly encouraged at The South Shore Chess Club but good-natured Blitz chatter/banter is to be expected and enjoyed as well.

The South Shore Chess Club is located within Bethany Congregational Church at 18 Spear Street in Quincy with plenty of local parking available along surrounding streets and at Crane Library’s nearby lot. The building is handicapped-accessible and less than a half-mile from the Quincy Center MBTA station.

Plymouth Center for the Arts (PCA) had it beginnings some 55 years ago as the Plymouth Outdoor Art Show (a.k.a. the Tent Show) on the waterfront in Brewster Gardens. This annual art show quickly became a tremendous success attracting artists and visitors from all over the region, with 20 years on the waterfront and then moving to several different locations until 2008 when the organization opened Plymouth Center for the Arts on North Street in the historic Russell Library.
Today the Plymouth Center for the Arts offers 10 to 12 gallery shows throughout the year in three separate galleries. The PCA also offers a wide variety classes and workshops geared towards both young and adult students. Located just steps from Plymouth Rock and Plymouth’s waterfront on historic North St., the beautifully restored 1902 Russell Library gallery and the 18th century Lindens building possess uncommonly elegant gallery spaces and diverse work created by regional artists.
The PCA is a wonderful place to visit! Admission is free and the center is open to the public from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm weekdays and Saturday, 1:00 to 4:00 pm on Sunday. For more information, call (508) 746-7222, or visit artsplymouth.org.
