Further to discussion on another thread, which I hope will be allowed to return to its original humdrum purpose. I have received the following privately.
From one person -
"One thing that did cross my mind was what would happen in the event at any congress if the blind player's tactile clock failed for any reason? Are they likely to have a spare with them? This may be a case for CS to purchase one of the newer Garde clocks for £30 to be on hand if required."
From another -
"I will donate a "Talking Digital Clock" to Chess Scotland on proviso
-- it is only used in Scottish Congresses
-- it is not loaned to individuals or clubs
-- my name is withheld ( you can say an anonymous donor if you like)
I can't find out where to buy this, but I'm sure someone does. Apparently the Spanish one mentioned is called "Kaissa". If Chess Scotland can find this and either buy it and I'll refund the cost or order it and I'll transfer the funds to Chess Scotland."
A further person offered to fund the purchase of a Garde clock if necessary.
