This ‘generous donation’ is simply wonderful news. But, allowing us the flexibility to buy the Boards upfront is the icing on the cake!
OK, we have to pay back to the Scottish Champions ... |

Brilliant! Some really cracking creativity here.
I’d be willing to ‘donate’ £12.00 towards the purchase of these special Boards. (Should we start a fund?) I’d raise the money easily by com ... |

I’m not wholly reassured.
I assume Adam is Adam Raoof, Home Director of ECF, and therefore well informed on this matter. But, the language of the two Sections is so framed as to sugges ... |

It's really good of you to give us these reports. Thank you.

Just had a look at the Live Games. They're over already. We lost on Boards 2-4 BUT won on Board 1, where Craig P beat Vasiukov. Wonderful. Very well done, Craig. |

Thank you. W/o your signposting, I would never have found this.
