Was worth Robin floating the idea and apologies if this is somewhat hijacking the issue initially raised, I happen to 100% agree with everything George has said. To add to George's list...
Team Events:
Spens Cup - struggling and a strong candidate for next event casualty to go from the calendar?
Richardson's - just enough interest to make it a respectable 3 rounder, but long-term questions marks and definitely not thriving.
Individual Weeknighters:
MacIsacc - currently suspended and not looking good for a comeback.
Elder - likely to follow the MacIsacc, not exactly thriving.
Weekenders:
Who knows what is next to go, but it is no secret the fantastic Edinburgh Congress that is FIDE rated is making losses for some years and at serious risk of being the next casualty.
