Latest!! Holloid production in full swing - the evidence

Post by David Robertson » Mon Dec 22, 2008 6:38 pm

Ah, the naysayers, the cynics & doom-mongers, the faint-of-heart & fair weather friends, the doubters & traducers of Charles W Wood and His Manifest Eminence, Sir Gerald Walsh - you've all been wrong. The ECF Board has been in permanent session since December 16th discussing the matter. But I can now bring you concrete visual evidence of Holloid people hard at work producing our chess sets with state-of-the-art technology.

Two people working 8-hour shifts should be through the whole consignment in about seven weeks. Stand by your schools and be ready to receive your chess sets!!!!!!!!

Go!

Surely there is some misunderstanding?

And in a drastic new move to increase the profile of English chess and broaden its appeal to the general public, ECF council have just passed a motion that all simultaneous displays carried out by Accredited Coaches and titled players must be conducted in the following vein :

One of the employees drew the line at the inhuman rate of production.
