Does the "everyone wants it!" include those sections of CS not involved in adult events?
The first thing that springs to mind is funding something like a pre-Euro teams training weekend where perhaps the top 10 players showing an interest in representing Scotland are joined by the top 10 juniors and have intensive coaching sessions (with someone like Arkady Naiditsch who played at the blitz event earlier this year).
If the money isn't used can it be carried forward to 2013-14? if so, something Olympiad or Commonwealth based might be an option.
I'm sure there are many other ideas out there - perhaps something involving the 'lesser lights' in the adult chess community who put a lot in but get (and have come to expect) very little in return?
