Correct support for The Scotland Junior International Squad

[David Deary]

I know it's been discussed a few times in one sense or another over the years, but does anyone with some Chess Scotland role have specific responsibility for fundraising?

I'm not sure if it is part of the Marketing Director's remit or not. :\

For anyone who is interested in the £1.7million deal to sponsor the league cup:

It was up 70% on the prior year and £500k came from the Cashback for Communities programme (or the proceeds of crime if you prefer) and £12.5 million has gone into football from the Cashback for Communities programme. Surely we could get a slice of that pie? At the very least it must be worth exploring.

Edit to add:
Just found this on the Cashback for Communities website.

All funding available to the programme has been fully committed to existing projects and we are unable to commit to funding new projects at present.

D'oh! There goes my bright idea.
