Hi all,

Apologies for not being able to run this very well over the last year. I shouldn't involve myself in discussions for a new start, so I'll leave it up to you.

Why have I been busy: I'm now -
Alternate Home Chess Director for the English Chess Federation
Junior Secretary of the Warwickshire Chess Association (and MCCU, but it doesn't do anything)
President of the British Universities' Chess Association (which I re-founded last year)
Club secretary for my University team, a junior team in the Birmingham League, and a 4NCL team
Head games-inputter at the 4NCL

This takes up literally ALL of my time. I struggle to keep to one move every three days! I passed the CAA arbiters' exam last week, which means I'm now 1/3 of the way towards being a qualified arbiter (you may know brfc is well ahead of me on that one!)

Apologies for my rubbishness, I hope someone else has more time to dedicate to this than me!

Alex Holowczak

    Hi Adrian,

    At the October 2009 AGM, Cyril was standing for re-election. Adam Raoof was contesting this election. Adam was elected. He has been Home Chess Director since then, winning re-election 10 days ago. I am his Alternate. I.e. if he can't attend a Meeting for whatever reason, I go in his place. This was appointed by the Board, not Council.

    wow, that's a lot of things you do for chess. And only a few more days till I get my last report ;)

    Congratulations on passing the exam, and thanks for arbiting the birmingham rapidplay. I blew it at the end, gifted round 5 to my opponent and last round opposite coloured bishops, was a awn up and had to take a draw xD Oh well, 4.5/6 is still a good score

    Hi Alex,

    As you have taken up the post of "Alternate Home Chess Director for the English Chess Federation", does this mean you have replaced Cyril Johnson?

    Regards,

    Adrian Dawson
