Club Memberships - Jim Webster - 05-11-2025
During a check of my club's membership status in preparation for the AGM I now have some concerns which I find disturbing.
As of today's date, the list of member clubs has only 8 clubs listed. Last year the number of clubs was 35 and this is a shortfall of 27 clubs and with projected an income loss of £1215. This should surely be a matter of concern.
It is extremely disappointing that so many clubs have, to date, not renewed their club membership for the current season.
It should also be pointed out that any club now renewing their membership, and their designated delegate, are now excluded for voting at the upcoming AGM under article 5.3 (i) of the constitution.
Have clubs been individually notified or has the notice post on the website, dated 6 October, been the sole source of notification?

yes this is quite disturbing and possibly we can get some clarification at the AGM. I am aware of some communication issues between member clubs and Chess Scotland. I know of some cases where clubs have changed officials as well so maybe we should look at better forms of communications and/or some good PR work to re-establish or imporve communication
