Adults Internet Comp Soon + Doerbel Meeting

[AES]

Alan and myself feel we should be ready to take on adult chess starting in July.

I have spoken to Dennis Jessop and alongside making a formal proposal for adult competitions before the ACF committee, we will have a brainstorming session which is open to any individual to take part.

I will be providing the dates shortly and it should be a good session.

free session: 1-2 hours
venue: to be announced
date: prior to ACF committee meeting so our proposal is right
please bring: pen, ideas
We will provide butcher paper for group discussions

Let me know if you would like to attend by emailing me at alexs@ausnetchess.org (just need to know for catering purposes) Only email me once we have announced venue + date + time.

See you at Doerbel!

don't forget butcher knife, cleaver, grinder etc - might achieve consensus a bit faster

Hopefully to bury, right?

but in whom?

I must say, this concept is really good. I believe, the recently completed USCL was an online event, over ICC, and made possible interstate teams to compete. So maybe, at last, we can have a truly national "grade matches".

You're getting out of the butcher shop and into the garden shed now Garvin. There are a great many useful toys in the shed ....

I forgot to mention that if any webmasters want to chat about anything re their website and how they can improve layout etc, i am happy to talk about it with them. I will be around the venue all weekend-need things to keep me busy

I hope this comment doesnt come across as being arrogant or anything, it certainly isnt intended.
