Membership in the Barrie Chess Club is more than just discounts and perks—it’s about being part of the community that keeps chess alive and growing in our city. By joining, you’re helping us maintain quality equipment, host more events, and make the club a welcoming place for players of all ages and levels.

You don’t need a membership to attend or play with us! We love that chess is a game that unites people from all walks of life, brought together by their passion for strategy and competition. For many, it doesn’t make sense to spend money on this hobby—and that’s perfectly fine. Chess is a low-cost source of endless entertainment, and we want to keep it that way.

Membership is simply an option for those who want to support the club’s mission and help us continue to improve. It’s the best choice for players who attend regularly, but it’s also a meaningful way to give back even if you only drop by once in a while. Every membership strengthens the club and ensures that we can keep building a vibrant chess community here in Barrie.
