Re: Ecf Silver member letter
I am not entirely sure why there isn't much discussion on the rather ambitious membership fee increases, of ~25% over two years from 2018-2020. Are members, clubs, and leagues, actually aware of the scope of the membership fee proposals, and perhaps not all of them are entirely sensible, and therefo...

This thread started by Roger is actually worth a lot of attention, for a number of reasons. Intentionally ambiguous or not, the ECF appears to have published a breakdown of costs that don't appear to add up properly in their requests for more funding, and seem to lack sufficient clarity that it woul...

Feel free to either email Ed Goodwin or message myself, for any queries about the event! Some of you may know Ed, as the Chief Organiser of the 28th Leamington Rapidplay 2017, and myself, as an ECF Arbiter in the Midlands area (and Vice-Chair of the Coventry and District League). The idea of this ev...

Re: Director of Women's Chess
If you write down a list of what a national chess federation of England has to do, there are some very obvious roles which are matched with Director level responsibilities. In England there's a problem with the number of people playing chess, so is concentrating on a subset of that issue, namely th...

Re: Director of Women's Chess
I might delete "educated" from that. Other than that, I mostly agree with your post, except perhaps... I appreciate the good chuckle, however, I'm optimistic that most people (here) do want to see more people (men and women, in general) playing ...I'm not at all sure about this "wide consensus". I ...

Re: Director of Women's Chess
This whole thread is full of guys saying the same. Let's hope we don't descend into a rerun of a particularly memorable Yes Minister moment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhZRDoGZg00 .. the discussion on this thread doesn't look gorgeous either. I think the fact that the wide consensus recognises ...

Re: Director of Women's Chess
There is a couple of points re this Director of Womens Chess matter, and Casual Chess, I think it is very commendable that Amanda Ross runs Casual Chess (local chess needs people running clubs up and country with a focus on Widening Participation), however, there are a couple of points I noted in Fi...

Re: Director of Women's Chess
I must admit I was not expecting to see this particular headline at this point, I think if I was to use terms of my generation, my initial thought was "that was quite woke of the ECF!" [If you urban dictionary it, you may find some appropriate definitions]. Anyhow, there are a few things to say here...
