We offer different types of events. The main club night is called the Interne. Every Monday from 20:00 at Café Proeflokaal Hooghoudt (Gedempte Zuiderdiep 61, Groningen). You can join for a long classical game (typically 60–90 min) or on the last Monday of each month we organize a rapid / blitz evening. On the Calender you can find all the events.
Would you like to come by and check out our monday evening? You can join up to four times for free. Please send an e-mail to info.jsvsissa@gmail.com if you want to join us for a monday.
