I don't seem to be able to edit posts any more, so I've corrected a couple of typos
I think simuls are good at achieving certain objectives, but I doubt they will raise significant funds for Chess Scotland. Nobody seemed to respond to my first idea, perhaps people think it is either completely stupid or totally obvious, so here is another one.
One of the Olympiad team runs from Edinburgh to Glasgow calling in at various chess club on route to play the President of that club in a blindfold challenge. Runner gets sponsored and clubs raise at least £100 to take part. Seems whacky enough to raise a bit of media interest?
