Equipment for Disabled Players

[Phil Thomas]

Phil said: "Why not use some of the surplus of Andy Muir's budget to purchase one of the special clocks & add it to the heap of Chess Scotland clocks that are loaned out to Congresses?"

I would like this money be allocated to a "reserve for the 2014 Olympiad" - as the exact cost of training, travel and appearance fees are not known for this event.

But Andy,

unless things have changed lately budget can not be carried forwards from one financial year to the next.

While chess clocks are more portable.
Its the difference between dogs and turkeys.

A dog is for life, not just for Christmas.
Turkeys are sensitive creatures and might be reading this notice board.
