Keep you Club Nights alive - online!
With Lichess (info on wikipedia) you can organise club nights online. Lichess offers tournaments, trainings and much more. Have a look: https://lichess.org/
A few words at the beginning
Lichess is a french charity, non-commercial, without ads, keeps your privacy, does no data-mining and does not transfer any data to third parties. You may read their Terms of Service and their Privacy Policy to confim yourself. It is free and costs nothing.
About lichess.org: lichess.org is a free/libre, open-source chess server powered by volunteers and donations. Most “free” websites subsist by selling ads or selling user data. Others do it by putting all the good stuff behind paywalls.
Lichess does none of these things and never will. With no investors demanding profits, Lichess staff can focus on improving the site as their only goal.
Lichess Privacy Policy
4. Disclosing your information.
Your information will only be disclosed if it is legally necessary to do so. For example, if Lichess is ordered to hand over a certain user’s information, or if someone hacks Lichess.
Lichess Terms of Service

Every club may create a "team" on Lichess and invite for online tournaments. If you want to play on this chess-server, you have to register yourself.
How to Lichess:
Register yourself at https://lichess.org/signup (Username, Password, e-mail). I like to suggest that you may register with your real name to enable everyone to recognise you.
If your club has set-up a team on Lichess, you can join this team. Simply click on the link provided by your club or click on "COMMUNITY, Teams", search for the team (see the magnifier-icon at the top-right) and click on the green button "Join team" at the top-left.
