Not that I am saying we are doing nothing about it currently, I suspect if anything the opposite is true. What is the present situation on relations with the Scottish Government as far as funding is concerned? I assume that that is who we are dealing with, and that the ECF approach it via the UK Government. What about the Welsh Chess Union, do they deal with the Welsh Assembly?
The key is the word could. The best time to attempt something like this would be on the back of a successful Commonwealth Championships where we hopefully have a bit of momentum
