- For about 3 months at the Pig N Whistle King George Square British Pub on Mondays from 4pm to 7pm

- 6 months at Sitar Indian Restaurant Albion on Monday nights from 5pm to 7pm
74

- About 11 months at the Royal Hotel at Nundah on Thursday nights from 6pm to 8pm
75

Whilst some chess players would bring their own sets, I still used a lot of my own chess gear that was needed to run these three events and it varied but I would take between 3 to 8 chess sets and 3 to 8 chess clocks to each event I hosted.
77

Marketed the club at various events, handing out business cards and speaking with hotel and restaurant patrons. Also ran mini tournaments and got to know a huge number of people. Bought and marketed new chess variants and board games which we used including:

- 4 Player Chess

- Chinese Checkers

- Quaternity 4 Player Chess

- 4 chess sets and 3 clocks to Sitar Indian Restaurant Albion
88

- 2 chess sets to the Royal Hotel at Nundah

Overall I went for about 2 years to meetups at Brisbane Social Chess and I did go to about 12 different locations for chess.
91
+
92

During my time as manager I did learn how to set and work four different types of chess clocks and at the events I was hosting a common task would be to help teach newcomers how to both set and play with the clocks. We had a range of chess clocks all digital including small cheap generic no name clocks, two different models of the official Digital Game Technology (DGT) chess clocks and a lot of standard LEAP brand clocks.
