Glasgow Schools League - amuir - 19-08-2016
I am going to suggest 3 Dumbarton secondary schools enter. Who is the contact ?
Alex's document on starting a school club refers to Sam Collins, Hope St - this closed many years ago.

Hi Andrew
My school played in the league a few years ago when there were only a few schools from Glasgow and East Renfrewshire playing in it. I will try to get you the contact details of the teacher who was last involved with organising the league games.

I have decided to restart the tournament - we can get the old trophies and present to the winners. I think Hillhead High have the league trophy ( Raj Bhopal's brother).
The Glasgow Schools Chess League for 2016-17 will start in November 2016 and run through to April 2017 . It will be for teams of 6 players and will be played at the schools themselves. Any school wishing to enter should contact me at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:andrew.muir@blueyonder.co.uk">andrew.muir@blueyonder.co.uk</a><!-- e --> by 31 October 2016.

Very good luck in this!
We need much more competitive chess available for the 12-16 year-olds, especially. If you have any school contacts or know any youngsters who might be willing to play, do please get behind Andy in this!

well done Andy
Re: Glasgow Schools League - amuir - 21-09-2016
It is open to primary and secondary schools. If there are a very large number of entrants I will split into two but otherwise primary will play secondary schools and will beat them if they have a good chess teacher.

I will contact Bishopbriggs Academy & High School of Glasgow, both of whom have pupils attending Lenzie Chess Club
Re: Glasgow Schools League - amuir - 28-09-2016
Hutchesons Grammar have now entered. Their former players included Michael Rosenberg.
Williamwood High have 50 pupils at their chess club.
The way its going I am going to get more entries than I did when I was Richardson controller (usual number was 9 for that )

Andy,

Is there a deadline looming up ?
