CHESS NIGHT @ BREWHALL

**Note it is HIGHLY recommended you RSVP on Flock (instead of Meetup):**

https://flocksocial.app/flocks/a2d9e06b-8419-461c-9f0c-0b32bfc40c4c

Reasons why:
- it will end up being cheaper since Flock doesn't have the same partner fees apply (ie: PayPal)
- Flock is a Vancouver-based company, so you are supporting local!!
- Meetup charges organizers $600+ a year to host a group on the platform (which is sad, even a book club I am a apart of had to close their Meetup group because their fees were too high) PS Meetup if you ever read this could you pls lower the annual fee for me..? 😇

Anyways, here's the event details if you'd just rather RSVP on Meetup...
