I have the highest regard and respect for him, as I have for the others who organise, arbiter and run chess and chess events in Scotland. This is all well and good but perhaps what they would really like is a helping hand and volunteers to spread the load.
Agreed. Donald and Jim have done a great deal for Scottish chess.
On your point of more volunteers being required:
I never noticed any communication to this effect. If it was simply a case of extra resource then I would have expected to have seen an email or a news post on the website asking for volunteers. Although there hasn't been anything prior to this thread. You could argue that it doesn't need to be said but one of our biggest problems in chess in Scotland is communicating effectively.
