As I couldn't see a listing or entry form on "Events", thought I'd ask "Is it planned for the Team Lightning Championship to be held this year?" 

In recent times it was played in the afternoon with round 7 of the SNCL held in the morning. So my follow-up question is "If the Team Lightning is not taking place on the same day as the SNCL, is round 7 of the SNCL a morning or afternoon round on Sunday 29 March 2020?"

Thanks!

Please can you check results and let me know if there are any incorrect.

Division 1  Division 2 Division 3 Division 4 Division 5

Congratulations to Phones for winning Division 5 (Provided they turn up!)

A truly remarkable piece of work!

Next Rounds are on Sunday 1st March.

Please bring ALL the Division shields and the Giantkiller Plate ( Sorry you only get to keep it one year. Make sure you name is engraved on it. Follow last year's example please and give me the receipt so that I can reimburse you)

Thanks

I am posting this after taking a long time to consider my position. I am reluctantly having to step back from all chess activities and roles with immediate effect. 
I am struggling with health issues both physically and cognitively and need to focus on my health for now. 
I feel privileged to have been able to be involved with our juniors, parents and coaches in recent years and was looking forward to working with our new squad members. 
I have posted elsewhere that I have now yet had glorney details sent so I can confirm no selections for this have been affected by my decision. 
I would ask that juniors who have recently registered interest in other events not email ruaridh mckay for the time being. 
I apologise for any problems my decision may cause and ask that people respect this decision.

Junior director-glorney update just to update you all.
As of today's date I am still waiting for confirmation from the organisers for this years details. This has led to a delay in selection invitations being issued. 

I am also putting another post on today that will help explain delays in other outstanding issues.

It saddens me to have to inform you of the passing of our friend and club mate, Des Rowan.  

Des returned to chess about six years ago and was an enthusiastic player in the Glasgow and Dumbarton leagues and regularly attended various congresses around Scotland up to the end of last season.

Des was a popular player, always friendly and cheery, only too happy to listen to our tales of woe of how we blew our last game from a winning position. He truly will be sadly missed.

His funeral will take place at 2pm on Monday 17th February at Linn Crematorium.

There was so much left behind on Sunday that the venue has now created an SNCL lost property box.

We had

3 mobile phones but luckily found their owners  (they were all adults!!)

1 camouflaged lunch box

1 navy blue jumper

1 Red score book belonging to Micheal the Best who played K***** the Annoying (possibly cos he keeps winning)

Several water bottles -- the expensive type

The box will be on display next round. Please retrieve your goods. Anything still unclaimed will be binned!!
