There used to be a chess club based in the Community Centre but it no longer seems to be active. There are a couple of teams based in Musselburgh, see http://www.chessedinburgh.co.uk/clubs.php

I don't have any chess contacts in Portobello, though some of you may know these guys, who were certainly around in 1998:

9580 Dunnett Ronald J
11782 Toal Ken (Snr)
9761 Roberts Alan
8684 Tait Alan
8677 Harris Jim
11421 Thomson Fergus J G
9765 Howson David D
13070 Boyle F
8678 Marr Ian
13071 Sivell D
11598 Toal Ken (Jnr)

I think they all became pawns of the local bishop.
