Correct support for The Scotland Junior International Squad

[Jonathan Edwards]

I have to admit I don't really understand the mentality in this thread... i.e the Govt. does not appreciate chess so gives a lower priority to it. A small amount of analysis would show that the annual grant/funding given to Chess Scotland over the past few years is comparatively similar (in terms of a member ratio) to the support provided to other organisations - for example Tennis Scotland.

The problem surely lies with the lack of attempt to obtain corporate sponsorship. There are plenty of international companies in Scotland who have entire departments dedicated to sponsorship.
