This page gathers entries where a source says beginners are welcome: club evenings that take new players, café groups that play for fun, courses for adults starting from zero, and tournaments with room for unrated players. If you learned the moves long ago and want to play again, these are the places a source marks as ready for you.
Welcome does not tell you how the evening runs. One place pairs newcomers with a regular, another starts with a short lesson, a third simply lets you sit down at a free board. The card states what the source states; when the way in is unclear, a message to the organiser before the first visit saves a wasted trip across town.
