SCCU Open Champion
The first clearly identified SCCU Championship tournament was held at Salisbury (then, of course, in the Southern Counties) in September 1898.
However an SCCU tournament in 1896 at Clifton, Bristol, and a second in 1897 at Southampton, both won by HE Atkins, seem to have been for the Union (Amateur) Championship in all but name. They were preceded, in August 1895, by an Amateur tournament at Hastings alongside the International. But this event was under the auspices of the SCCU and the British Chess Association jointly and, unlike the later events, was not restricted to SCCU players.
After the 1898 event we have no information until 1937. We have Ladies Champions only for 1959-63, but suspect there will have been others
