I would argue that the AGM is the most important meeting of the year for those not on the Management Board to interact with those who are.
The most important chess tournament in Scotland each year is the Scottish Championship.
I hope you will agree that the Scottish Championship should not be online and that you will commit to next year's AGM to be in person too.
I sympathise with those who have a long way to travel or are unhealthy.
You and I have both travelled to Hastings so long distance is possible.
Options are hybrid meetings and proxy voting.
The resignations of Alan Tate and Ian Brownlee and the unfilled posts are not encouraging.
The juniors are doing well but an ageing adult team (three of the recent European Team players were record holders!) is also concerning.
The sponsorship gap between Scotland and England is also an issue.
