2014 Junior International Events

[Alan Jelfs]

The problem with Hugh's suggestion that I see is this: If, say, we had 2 U-14s judged strong enough to go to the Euro champs and wanted to send both, the parents of the other team members would be asked to contribute to sending a second U-14, whether their child is "strong enough" or not - so you could end up with a child denied a place purely on financial, not Chess, reasons.

I also think the Glorney should be supported financially -surely this ( and the Liverpool Quadrangular ) are the events where those who aren't strong enough for the Euro-youth can gain "international" experience?

I get the "lucky to be the right age" thing - I happened to be born in the same year and the same County as a certain K Arkell.
