Great effort Jonathan. Similarly Lenzie CA is in it's 4th year of operation and now has 22 paid up members (All aged under 14) and who attend almost every week (must be doing something right!), 2 Volunteer Coaches (both aged under 16), not to mention the 2 Scotland Under 12 playing ex members who have moved on to bigger and better things!
I deeply appreciate the offer of equipment from SJC and Hamilton Chess Club and have agreed to minimise delivery costs by uplifting these personally at the SJC National Age Championships on Feb 15/16, where I will hopefully have a team of kids ready to do some serious business on a big stage! The challenge is also laid down to (and accepted by) Hamilton Junior Chess Club (reputedly one of the strongest, if not the strongest Junior CC in Scotland) to a match up sometime May/June. Does Dunbar want to get involved??? Can't wait! :-)
