Andrew,
1st point. I am clearly talking about support for the junior squad. Not individuals!
Ofcourse a squad is made up of individuals but there would be no desire to seek special funding
for specific individuals. Why do you make the point?
2nd point. Perhaps you can tell the Chess Scotland membership about the Government Grant so we all know how much Chess Scotland receive. What is the purpose of the Grant and how is it issued to Chess Scotland.
This would be very helpful as I wish to put the facts up front when I lobby my MP and MSP.
I will highlight the case of 1 individual I know about to emphasise the point of how the UK and Scottish Government are failing to give adequate support to talented Scottish Youngsters. This will be done for the benefit of the whole and not for the benefit of that individual.
regards,
Angus
