E.g if I said Colin McNab gets x and Rowson would have got y then Alan Tate might want z and we would spend over budget to get the players and end up bankrupt like Rangers football club and I am not going down that route.
All members need to know is total cost and if it is in the budget.
As far as I know there is no requirement for me to give anything other than total cost for Olympiad and no requirement for the captain to be Scottish or a CS member so I am happy with what I have done.
Andy,
you are completely and utterly right to take this stance.
In my time as IJD coaching fees were revealed to the treasurer only.
Had I seen a reason to publicise fees on the notice board then I would have done so myself in person.
The last time I looked the IJD was Paul MacDonald.
And congratulations for recruiting a coach of the standard of GM Keith Arkell for the Olympiad teams. If the players wanted him then that is good enough for me.
