| In any case, from an organisers point of view, I think an increase in grading fees would mean an increase in entry fees for every event, so no event would be priced out of the market by competitors be ... | |

| I think you should do your research a bit more. I know on the wargames front it is cheaper you could be right about the darts or bowls. I'm still not so sure though... I think club fees are higher but ... | |

| The cost of travelling from Scotland to any of the English tournaments has risen more than £6 in the past year. Chess is incredibly cheap and I don't believe the cost puts off many people, what alter ... | |
