All.

We are facing a situation where our B team will be playing in Division 2 next season.

This in itself is not a matter of concern due to the fact that recently we have had a number of new players joining the club who are more than capable of playing at this level of chess.

The problem we are facing is that we will need someone to Captain this team during the new season.

Can I therefore ask all 1750 to 1600 rated members to seriously consider if they could take on this role.

The committee will be asking this question at the AGM on Tuesday. 

Although the role is not onerous, without a volunteer it will be very difficult to run the team successfully.

All members wishing to participate in the next League competition should attend the AGM as this is where we decide team structures.

Please come with an open mind and hopefully a willingness to take on a role to support your Club, your team and our membership.

Thank you.
