EGM

Its not a turf war. The simple fact is there is no point having two bodies doing the same thing. That is what we have just now.

Or twenty-two bodies or however many county associations there are? So we could all utilise the CS standards committee, assuming we all agree on the standards. Those involved in local standards committee could then turn their attention and time to other parts of chess in their County which could benefit.

The Ayrshire Chess Association has a Greivance Procedure incorporating procedures for complaints, disciplinary action and appeals. You were at the last Ayrshire AGM where this was discussed at length.

I'm not entirely sure I was awake for the whole of this discussion. I haven't seen any AGM minutes, so I can't check back. I recall I was elected to the Ayrshire committee but as I haven't heard anything since, I may have been dreaming at this point.

I think I had a similar dream at the CS AGM.

I find it badly written and illy conceived.

Are you talking about the procedures, the standards or both? Like most things, there are areas that could be improved but overall I think both are good starting points for a standards committee to develop.
