Hi Steve
I would to reply on both your points as I was there yesterday
1. Accounts
I spoke to the executive director who has assured me the accounts will be published on the notice board.
2. Working party of the constitution
The Chess Scotland President told the quorum that this list would also be published on the notice as part the agreed procedure. I am sure you would agree that in such an important matter every aspect of this committee has to be documented and recorded both in writing and on forums such as the noticeboard. In setting up this committee Anyone who was at the AGM yesterday would have noticed most of the committee got together for a meet and greet, not a formal meeting. There's no cloak and dagger about this. On a personal note I would like to say the committee is a great combination of talent and experience from all over the country.
I would also like to thank Robert Montgomery for the wee chat we had after the AGM. I believe we actually ended up on the same side of the argument as we both had the same aims and concerns. I'm sure Robert has given and will continue to contribute his vast knowledge and enthusiasm in the future
On a further point the volunteers for the remote access challenges were read out and I'm sure they will be published on the notice board at the appropriate time
Finally from my point of view we've had a massive two-part AGM , we've got several parties working on various aspects of Chess Scotland. We've got different people with different views and opinions working together Lets see what we can achieve and be proud of it. if you want to contribute CS would welcome it. Different opinions are healthy but negative and personal grudges are not
