I could always praise myself I am good at that.

There are some posts in the other place now, they say little but they are there.
Cheers

Exciting news: the ECF Forum has another new member: puppypaws123, who sells dog jewelry.

You couldn't make it up.

That nobody much cares that the ECF hasn’t given a full account of what happened is the real problem I think. Shows just how low expectations of the governing body are.
Alternatively, it shows how unimportant and irrelevant people think the "official" Forum is.
Possibly David. Although I think the absence of interest in Sue Dunham shows how "unimportant and irrelevant the "official Forum is". The absence of interest in the ECF accounting for Sue Dunham demonstrates a rather deeper malaise, I think.

See also the total absence of any interest in the ECFs pre-christmas multiple day strategy meeting. That this sort of can be announced, take place (apparently) and simply disappear without trace and not generate any discussion from outside the ECF is very much not a good sign for the ECF.

I think you'll find it's John Chilcott in charge of the minutes, not John Philpott

Then can I take it that Phil Ehr, like Tony Blair, has said he is not responsible for the delay?

I would like to thank David Eustace for trying to get things done. Assuming he wants to continue, I hope everyone votes for him at the appropriate time. I assume the Non-Executive Directors are pursuing the Board about the issue of the Minutes - it seems to be in their remit...

Just this morning I can't find any minutes after December 2013. Has somebody hit the wrong button? Have I?

"Yes, but I prefer a game with a better chance of cheating."

They are still available here: http://www.englishchess.org.uk/about/minutes/

I've noticed that the drop down menus have been reconfigured and do not display the same options as before.

The way to access the minutes is to click on menu item About then click (not hover) on dropdown menu Minutes

The Minutes dropdown menu displays the double chevron indication another level of drop down, but that only shows Archive

Messing about with the menu configuration is very confusing to users. I have noticed that the same problem occurs on other menus.

The last minutes are 23 October - how many meetings have there been since then?
Any postings on here represent my personal views
