Jim,
I am not suggesting sending juniors to non Fide/ECU organised events. I am simply saying we should be sending them to those events where we receive fully funded places for players and coaches/head of delegation. The events I have mentioned previously fall into that category.
There is normally a Fide "organisation fee" at these events which is there to cover admin/ bus transfer/accreditation etc. This fee is usually in the order of less than 150 Euros and the parent of the junior has always paid this in events I have attended in the past.
If we are being realistic about finances we should be concentrating on the aforementioned World/Euro Fide and ECU organised events where we can take advantage of the funded places available. At the moment we are focused exclusively on a financially draining event for both CS and parents alike but not giving those same parents and juniors the option of playing at higher class international events where a major financial incentive is available.
