Starting a new thread because I don't wish to hog the 'Goals' thread.
I must thank Andrew for that thread because clearly it's good to set goals from top to bottom.
Here's a point to our elected representatives. Currently Fide the International Body of Chess has potential support for our juniors to attend The World Youth, European Youth, Under 16 Olympiad and Under 20 World Youth of over £20,000.
They are outstripping our own country Britain/Scotland in terms of money that actually goes to support our Juniors attend these events by at least 5 to 1. That is a lamentable situation.
Will use this thread to prepare notes for approaching my MP and MSP.
Those who wish to see our juniors better supported please feel free to add their ideas to this thread.
