Chess Scotland Fund Raising
#15
here's a few ideas

1. Run tournaments with the sole aim of raising funds , It's my experience people value cheap trophies rather than prize money. I don't think there are many people in Scotland relying on prize money

2. Run a national schools competition with similar fees already charged by other organisations. give Schools the incentive to pay this fee by offering other incentives such as Chess Scotland resources for developing chess clubs As well as raising money School chess both primary and secondary can be developed

3. Create an inter regional chess league again raising money, one or two teams per region

4. Give clubs an incentive to raise funds, for example each club will be rewarded if they use one club night per year raising money

5. Use Chess Scotland resources (e.g our stronger players could give simuls) to raise money

6. as with point 2 create a school ( and other ) affiliation list with a fixed fee Again with point 2 make the fee attractive to schools. We could learn a lot from existing methods already in place. Do all that's possible to promote Chess Scotland as the authorative chess body in Scotland. Point out the positive points regarding chess in Schools

7. link local chess clubs to schools. Local chess club membership would benefit financially from new membership
