I can see Alan's point of view.
Spending your meagre budget on training is an investment in your people and their skills, and potential for the future. You are spending it on....Chess. Yes, wow, how radical.
Spending your money on flights...is a transient luxury.
If people are going to throw their toys out of the pram if they don't get their flights paid (Chess Scotland is hardly a cash cow) move on to one of the many people who would bite your hand off to represent Scotland in the Olympiad. No flight subsidy required.
