Future Website Plans

We have plans to expand the use of this website so that it incorporates more than just fixtures and results.

Our plans are to include news stories, annotated games, player profiles club profiles etc... on to the website to encourage use and give some wider exposure to chess activity.

To make this a success an a website we all share in and benefit from we are asking for input from clubs/players.

The long term aim is that each club would have an individual login through which they can submit content without needing action from the webmasters. While this is under construction we would like people to submit news stories and annotated games (in pgn format) reuslts with a short report of matches etc... which we will manually place on the website.

At present on the website we have information regarding each club here. Can you all please review the section relating to your own club and ensure the details are accurate and sufficient? This information can be a valuable resource to people looking for chess clubs and attracting new players. It is important that it contains contact details and accurate up to date information.

If there is anything you want updated or added or have any comments please email the secretary, Bryan Tobin.
