From Exchange Square G1 3AJ Glasgow to the Concord Centre G82 1LJ Dumbarton is 20.1 miles and
27 minutes so I would only vote for a radius of 21 miles or above or a journey time of 27 minutes or above or to include a G82 postcode
A route planner distance is not the same as the straight line distance.
The "as the crow files" distance to the Concord venue is about 13.5 miles.
Note that we have suggested three options only one of which we would like to be adopted.
They are
(a) Use driving times from George Square
(b) Use postcodes
© Use the straight line distance from Exchange Square
We have given suggested limits for each of the above, but these are of course up for debate at the AGM.
The rules as they stand currently exclude the venues used by Concord and Cumbernauld.
Admitedly the existing rule has probably been in place for decades and nobody has ever complained but it's still something we feel should be updated.
It's good that you have the interests of Concod Chess Club at heart despite deciding to travel all the way to Hamilton!
