County websites

Post by Bobjones » Sat Oct 20, 2012 6:53 pm

Suffolk has a new website. I'd be interested to see other counties' websites. Please add them here.

The MCCU has a fairly good site...its just one of the services it provides to the `Midlands`, but dont tell Alex... :) http://www.mccu.org.uk/
PS its a Union site, but if you look in the `links` section you`ll find all the county sites within the MCCU area, and others. Same goes if you look at the SCCU site. Not sure about the NCCU, but Yorkshires site points to other counties within the NCCU. http://www.yorkshirechess.org



This is important and organisors should be aware of these various sites, which may contain some useful contact and event information. Webmasters would also be grateful for any information or communications that players and organisors have, that would be of interest to players & other officials.
Promotion and networking is a key part of the battle to improve awareness about what is happening in the chess world.

Leicestershire is http://www.lrca.org.uk

The most impressive bit (I think) is the automated league results service.

The Surrey County Chess Association and the London League both have a similar facility to submit results.
