Jonathan,
Above is a link to the Hamilton Chess Club award from the Government's Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Perhaps your club and others may wish to apply as £5,370 is a considerable sum of money for local juniors.
Hopefully, As Phil appears to have forgotten where the money was rerouted and spent, some other members from Hamilton may wish to enlighten me on what exactly the money was spent on to help young players.
Jonathon,
as is well know in Lanarkshire I was not a member of Hamilton Chess club at the time of the 2012 agm when this grant was discussed. Therefore the fine details are not something that I have forgotten. The fine details are actually none of my business.
However, I have no hesitation in congratulating Hamilton club in public for acquiring this grant and for spending it for the benefit of junior chess in Lanarkshire.
