This year's AGM will be held on Tuesday 29th May 7.30pm at Massey Ferguson Social Club.

All members are invited to our AGM where this year we need to discuss new funding arrangements as there has been some changes at the ECF the way chess is funded. There are too many details to put in this Blog, but if you go to: ECF Funding   the situation is fully explained.

Also, as many members are aware Massey Ferguson intend to charge us for the hire of the room as from September 2012.

A full agenda will be provided at the meeting
