Gary,
Fair comment and every member of ChessScotland has a right to know how each individual directors budget is being allocated. I have been trying to be particularly tight on the International Junior Director budget this season because of future concerns of the grant. Things you may not find itemised are people spending their own time....
a/ doing an Asda online shopping for all at Liverpool for hours on end.
b/ paying their own travel and digs at events even though they are allowed to claim them.
c/ coaching at major events for accommodation and travel expenses only, no fees paid.
I could go on for some time. This is not new, it is a norm in International junior chess in Scotland to try and make ends meet,
Robin.
