Re: Tromso Olympiad 2014 - Alan Tate - 01-08-2014
Can't this wait until after the Olympiad?
(I'm in Oslo, no sign of any Syrian terrorists so far).

All this should be discussed at the AGM. I will be there to answer questions and am standing for re-election.

It should be fairly simple. Whose budget has the cash come from and when was it approved by Council?
Re: Tromso Olympiad 2014 - robin moore - 01-08-2014
Perhaps it's simply because Andy Muir may be coaching a fair number of Scottish juniors at present.
Andy M, how many juniors are you currently coaching that competed at the Commonwealth or have been selected for the Glorney squad?

Good luck to all of the players, in both of our teams.

Since it looks like being another slightly controversial decision rather than a 'simple answer and everyone's happy' kind of thing then of course it can wait Alan
Good luck to both of our teams (and also to Helen Milligan and the NZ squads)

Thanks Andy!
I'll be posting bits and pieces on the NZCF Facebook page at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.facebook.com/NZChessFederation">https://www.facebook.com/NZChessFederation</a><!-- m -->. You don't need to be logged into Facebook to see that page. Initial impressions are up now (some photos).

Which leads onto the obvious set of questions to be discussed at the agm.
Over the last two completed financial years which, if any, directors spent more than they had in their budget?
If any ... who authorised the extra spend?
Worth noting here that Andy Muir is a long standing IM with a history of not charging for coaching.
Lets give him some credit for that.
It also seems likely from Andy Burnett's comment above that Andy Muir will acquire some FIDE generated coaching material as a result of attending the seminar. Be nice to Andy Muir and maybe he'll share that material.

Aren't people being a tad hard an Andy
Quote:9. Costs: The costs for travel, board & lodging will be born by the sending federation, club or participant. There will be no participation or FIDE fee (100 euros), as this seminar is sponsored by FIDE in cooperation with the Norges Sjakkforbund. All refreshments and snacks throughout the seminar, as access to Internet and handouts and examination, will be free. A relative book (TRG Syllabus) containing all the lectures will be distributed for free among the registered participants.
This opportunity is there and no travel costs, so why not take it?
In any case paying the 100 euros is not that bad, especially since there would have been no additional travel/subsistence costs to pay.

A somewhat slightly different take than Helen's:
