Stewart,

Where have the vacant roles been advertised apart from this forum and the ECF main site?

They have been advertised in ChessMoves. They could be advertised in BCM and Chess, though I would have thought that would be unproductive. Suggestions?

How about advertising it in something nothing to do with chess? Somewhere that people in the finance sector may look for jobs in finance? I presume a knowledge of chess isn't a prerequisite.

Knowledge of chess is not a pre-requisite, but doing the job gratis is. I doubt if someone with no knowledge of chess would be prepared to volunteer for this.

I didn't know that, but suddenly I can see why no one is applying for it.

Are any of the ECF Directors paid?

I don't care, another Young person forced out of something to do with British chess would not be a great surprise.

You could pass comments both relevant and adding value to the topic that is all?

Surely this then is subjective relative to your views Carl.
