Re: Middlesex County Chess Association: a new website
I am reliably informed that when Kings Head club was formed, the pub sign did not have an apostrophe. When it later acquired one, the club decided to keep its original name.

Re: Middlesex County Chess Association: a new website
New website looks good. One thing missing is the constitution; which can be found here
http://businesschat.reocities.com/Colos ... tution.htm
(archived from the very old geocities site, so might not be the most up to date version). I note in particular that Rule 1 doesn't tally with the map on the new website. From my limited knowledge, the differences reflect the boundary changes made in c 1890. As you specifically mention Imperial College, the differences could lead to eligibility issues in county matches (a new student who isn't yet eligible by club membership, living close to college, for example). It also appears that (without divulging too much personal imformation) these differences affect my eligibility.
It also might be a good idea to acknowledege where you obtained the image files.

Re: Middlesex County Chess Association: a new website
Thanks for that! I will do - incidentally the direct link to the site is http://middlesexchess.blogspot.com/ in case, for any reason, the site goes offline... this archived site is very interesting - is there a historical archive of the complete list of prizewinners in each division / individual competition somewhere?Richard Thursby wrote:New website looks good.

Re: Middlesex County Chess Association: a new website
I very much doubt it. Your best bet is to try the Metropolitan Archive, but I expect Tony F. has already mentioned it, assuming you didn't already know.Adam Raoof wrote:... is there a historical archive of the complete list of prizewinners in each division / individual competition somewhere?
Somewhere I've got buried the reports on the centenary tournament. I've also got a copy of the Wade obituary which emphasises his role within the county. Let me know if you want them.

There's some good info and few hints here (unless your server does something unusual):

Re: Middlesex County Chess Association: a new website
Yes thanks I knew the fix but was hoping to try a nicer solution without actually changing the cookie name and logging everyone outPaolo Casaschi wrote:There's some good info and few hints here (unless your server does something unusual):

I might sort it on the next new software release which should be happening soon!

Re: Middlesex County Chess Association: a new website
On the map provided, what does the central area count as?
I'm assuming that, clockwise from the area east of 2 (Enfield), the segregated areas represent Essex, Kent and Surrey. I moved to Camden in September 2009 and enquired about playing for Middlesex because (a) I assumed that I'd moved to within its boundaries and (b) the home venue was literally across the street from me. However, the map indicates I was wrong with my assumption in (a).
Despite having no direct affiliation whatsoever, would I have been able to play for any of the other 3 counties who border the central area?

Re: Middlesex County Chess Association: a new website
I can't comment on the validity of the map, but Camden Town is in Middlesex; type "Camden Town" into this: http://gazetteer.co.uk/Phil Makepeace wrote:On the map provided, what does the central area count as?

Re: Middlesex County Chess Association: a new website
No, the map is totally wrong! Give me a more accurate map, and then I will replace it. However our constitution also seems to be wrong (have a read).
