Joining the Club

We appreciate your interest in joining the Springfield Chess Club. We are not able to process memberships over the internet. However, we have a membership form you may print out and mail in or bring to a club meeting.

Annual adult dues are currently $12 per year. Scholastic dues are currently $5 per year. Adult memberships are for calendar years and expire on December 31. Scholastic memberships are for academic years, and expire on June 30. If you are a new member, your first year's dues are pro-rated based on the amount of time remaining in the current year (instructions below.) You should receive a membership card with your first newsletter.

Scholastic membership is restricted to those enrolled in primary or secondary school. Scholastic members receive all club benefits except they are not entitled to a vote at club business meetings.

If you wish, you can join for more than one year by adding one or more additional full year's dues.
