note that this table only lists results of club players while a club member. This of course can be fairly approximate since a player might be a member for only part of the year in question or may not be a regularly active member.
note also that in 1987 the team was a team of four - the others being substitutes




Central Coast Association


Meant as a pooling of administration talent from the three clubs; Gosford soon left and the championships & allegro comps were run by Ettalong Chess Club (the other Association member being the White Knights of Toukley).
