SUMMARY:Ballarat Chess Club
DESCRIPTION:Meet Thursdays in the Humffray Room\n\nMore information about the club\n \nThe chess table in the photo (which is part of a collage of portraits of old BMI members) is possibly one of those still in use in the BMI Library on the ground floor. The date of the picture\, at a rough guess\, is believed to be between 1866 and 1875. C.J. Harvey (shown on the picture)\, J.Tatham (on the collage) and W.D. Battan (secretary of the BMI\, on the collage and who presented the collage to the BMI in 1910) were active chess-players in 1866-67. They played\, amongst others\, in the infamous Smythesdale handicap-chess tournament\, which lasted 8 months\, and ended in controversy.\n\nMore\n \n\n\nBMI News\n \n\nSocial scene at society screenings | Ballart Film Society\n\nIn the post-Second World War era\, a movement of film… \n\n \n\nRex’s Snippits | Is it AA or A in Ballaarat?\n\nExtract from the Heritage Victoria Register BMI statement of significance…. \n\n \n\nRosemary’s Book of the Week | 8 January 2024\n\nRosemary’s Book of the Week I Remember Paris by Lucy… \n\n \n\nFrom the Curator | Post Office Gallery\n\n 1.
