Chess Scotland President's Awards

August 24, 2007

At the 2006 AGM, outgoing President John Glendinning presented the first “President's Awards” to three people he considered had made a major contribution to Chess in Scotland over a period of many years.

It is intended that up to three awards will be made annually to people who have made a meritorious contribution to Chess in Scotland, and I now ask for nominations for the 2007 awards.

The rules are as follows:

•  Any member of Chess Scotland may make one or more nominations.

•  The person nominated will have made a significant contribution to chess, probably (but not necessarily) over many years.

•  The person nominated does not have to be a member of Chess Scotland.

•  The person nominated must be aware that he/she has been nominated, and must have agreed to be nominated.

Nominations should be sent to me either by email to president@chessscotland.com or by post to:

58 Hamilton Street

Tillicoultry

Clackmannanshire FK13 6EL

The nomination should contain a brief statement of why the person nominated deserves to be considered for an award, and should include confirmation that the person has consented to be nominated.

The closing date for nominations is Thursday 18 October 2007 .

I hope to be able to announce the winners by the end of October, and presentation of the awards will be made at a suitable time and place (e.g. a Congress close to each winner's home) as soon as possible after that.

Donald Wilson

(President, Chess Scotland)
