Derek,
I accept your concerns for clarity and I am trying my best to support everyone in junior chess. Let me give you an example on the diversity of events. David Congalton and I have just spent about four hours discussing finances and exploring possible routes to international events in 2013. Everything from heading to Brussels, Helsinki, buses from Dubrovnik and ferries from Bari were looked at plus how much it costs on the monorail from Chongqing airport to the city of the same name in China. Every event is different and we are trying to identify cost savings asap. We have guidelines but every event has different attractions and problems to parents that we are trying to support. So, guidelines...yes. Set rules for each event...no. David and I are trying to identify every reasonable option as far in advance as possible. Bear with us and I will try and keep everyone updated on the tournaments involved,
Robin.
