Apologies for being later than normal, I have been very busy with Work, Isle of Man, AGM, Scarborough and life in general.  

Division 1  Division 2  Division 3  Division 4  Division 5 

Hi folks, hope you all have your teams primed and ready for battle.

See you all on Sunday

Games start promptly at 10.00am so don't be late. Clocks will be started by arbiters if players are not at the table.

All monies must be paid before the team will be allowed to play. 

If you arrive early please help us to set up the sets, etc so that we can start on time.

Thanks

Hi all,
I am trying to track down the Scottish Boys Championship trophy. Does anyone know its present location or even have any idea who may have it. Please let me know so i can arrange its retrieval.

Isle of Man starts today.  Unfortunately no Scottish players playing in the main event but there are a few in the Major / Minor.  Very good field and could be the strongest Swiss event ever

Live games are on Chess.com 

If anyone is trying to get a hold of me, unfortunately I am here in the IOM working as the Fair Play Officer / Arbiter / Live games specialist / gopher, I will get back to you, but I am going to be tied up here

Can anyone point me to last year's AGM minutes? I can't find any reference to them.
Thanks

Hi Folks,

Yes it is that time again. Gosh this year has gone fast.

The dates are  3/11/19     2/2/20     1/3/20    29/3/20

Please note only one day this year and two in March 2020 . The venue is very busy so we need to fit in  with them. Same place - Carnegie Conference Centre, Dunfermline. The dates are on the CS calendar.

I have not sent out entry forms yet as I have been so busy I forgot!!!  SORRY!

However, you all know the drill. Please tell me on this forum that you intend to enter and you can pay on the day. I will do the forms etc tonight and arrange for them to go onto calendar or be sent to clubs (depending on what D Bryson can do for me. He's a good lad!)

Fees remain at £100 per team which is very good for 5 players, 7 rounds. 35 games total WOW!

New teams very welcome and automatically join the bottom division.

Thanks

Hi all,

Sam Coates, who will be representing Scotland for the first time at the World Youth Championships in Mumbai, spoke really well on the John Beattie show on Radio Scotland today with regard to his upcoming trip and his positive experience of Scottish chess generally. Check it out on the following link, it's 50 minutes in:
