SCA - SJCA Merger Update

The Councils of the Scottish Chess Association and Scottish Junior Chess Association have both resolved to embrace the concept of a merger from July 2001. A merger is seen by both Councils as the potentially best option for maximising development of chess in Scotland.

Update 25th June 2001: Chess Scotland - embracing the 21st century

Update on the process The annual general meeting of the Scottish Junior Chess Association was held on 24th June and voted in favour of the merger with the Scottish Chess Association. The next milestone in the process is the vote at the Scottish Chess Association's Annual General Meeting on 9th July. If the SCA also approves the merger, then the inaugural meeting of the new organisation will be held on 19th August.
