Phil and everyone,
Chess in Scotland has to work together with all junior organisations to ensure that we have a calender that tries to encourage all events. As we know, there are are various organisations in every part of the country trying to run tournaments and they should be supported.
We have got to organise a calender of events (without date clashes) , well in advance, in order to encourage as many junior players as possible to compete.
Now, don't start throwing the first stone here but look at the South Ayrshire congress minor section. There are loads of juniors that are moving up to an adult event for the first time.
It's only an example, but if we all work together....
