This is perhaps not the right section but I don't want to conflict with Dundee Congress postings.

Latest entry lists. There’s still time for more, is there really so little interest in the MacIsaac? Clearly major surgery will be needed. This is likely to be the last time it will be offered as a knockout.

I was just perusing the website home page & notice that the paypal donate box for Top Scorer is still there although at the council meeting in June, nobody seemed to know why it had been put there or by whom & therefore it was agreed to be removed by the meeting???
AOCB
DH noted on the website there is a box for the top scorer donations. Should this not be changed?
 Box to be removed

Evening everyone,

Can you please use <!-- e --><a href="mailto:Admin@chessscotland.com">Admin@chessscotland.com</a><!-- e --> for contacting the moderators as I can be away with my work. That way one of the team will pick it up.

Many thanks

Andy

A little over a week to go now, so this is just a little reminder:

• the prize fund this year is significantly higher than last year
• Andrew Green will be here to coach juniors during Sat and Sun
• The City Quay apartment rooms are still available. I have had enquiries about a couple of rooms but that still leaves two: £60 - £80 for the two nights. All monies received for letting these rooms go to congress funds so if you are looking for a room please consider this option. Info – http://www.dundee-congress.co.uk/cityQuay.htm - contact me directly if interested – <!-- e --><a href="mailto:director@dundee-congress.co.uk">director@dundee-congress.co.uk</a><!-- e -->
• Cheapest Travelodge = Strathmore Ave at £98 for the two nights; the two Travel Inns close to the venue are £140 for the two nights

The Euro Youth starts tomorrow in Budva, Montonegro.

Details of our team going can be found here.

Shaping up to be a good tournament with a strong bunch of players we're sending. I've got a feeling there is going to be a few big results coming Scotland's way!

It is easy to keep track of our results on

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://chess-results.com/tnr106043.aspx?art=25&fedb=SCO&lan=1&turdet=YES&flag=30&wi=984">http://chess-results.com/tnr106043.aspx ... =30&wi=984</a><!-- m -->

which shows all the squad at the same time.

Best of luck to all, I'm sure you'll do us proud!

It looks as if we have as many entries as can be taken for the Poly Quickplay on Thur 27 Sept, so I'm afraid we can't guarantee that anyone turning up without having entered in advance would be able to play. The room is not as large as we'd like.

Does anyone know what progress has been made in the forming of this group?
Nothing has been heard since the AGM.
