Re: ECF AGM 2018
Feels like a lot had been said about very little today.

Re: ECF AGM 2018
Thanks to all those volunteers who gave up their time to attend the meeting today. It doesn't sound like there was much drama and I'm looking forward to hearing how the chess development strategy is going to work in real terms.

It's not clear to me what these votes are on
"Do you play chess?"
"Yes, but I prefer a game with a better chance of cheating."

Ben will probably answer in due course but I think he's referencing item 12 or item 13 which concern the budget and the membership proposals.

Re: ECF AGM 2018
Chris Fegan also did remarkably well given the the comments he's made about the council system and those within it in recent years.Mick Norris wrote: ↑Sat Oct 13, 2018 6:39 pmMike Truran clearly most popularJohn Reyes wrote: ↑Sat Oct 13, 2018 5:44 pmD Lawson 277 2

Re: ECF AGM 2018
The top was a hand vote in favour of the Board’s finance proposal. Five members then called for a card vote, which is the second vote.

Re: ECF AGM 2018
In all fairness to Chris (and I'm well aware we differ on issues such as OMOV and proxies for ECF meetings) he genuinely impressed me more then anyone else there, and has my full support in his work as Director of Women's Chess.Andrew Zigmond wrote: ↑Sat Oct 13, 2018 6:55 pmChris Fegan also did remarkably well given the the comments he's made about the council system and those within it in recent years.Mick Norris wrote: ↑Sat Oct 13, 2018 6:39 pmMike Truran clearly most popularJohn Reyes wrote: ↑Sat Oct 13, 2018 5:44 pmD Lawson 277 2

When he starts bullying people, as he always does, we'll see what happens then.

Re: ECF AGM 2018
I actually agree with Chris on the need for constitutional reform although I don't think direct OMOV is the solution. Where I disagree with him very strongly is the role of the unpaid volunteer base and the idea that people who give up so much of their time to make chess happen (I'm not including myself in this) are part of some shadowy nexus determined to hold chess back.The evidence was on the now removed official forum but who can forget Chris' contemptuous dismissal of a titled player and hugely respected coach and organiser just because he dared take a contrary view.
That said he has hit the ground running as Director of Women's Chess and I expect him to do a brilliant job. What he might bring to wider board discussion is more of a grey area at this stage.
