Urgent vacancies for staff continue to exist in most departments, including Administration, Arbitration and in the New Member Department, and Tournament Directors. Please apply via the volunteering page.
The Club continues to exist and thrive by virtue of the small number of members who join the staff and devote a small portion of their time to helping to run the Club. The Board is very grateful for their generosity, and we are all collectively in their debt.

Recent Staff Changes

Mary Anne Lynskey of the Swiss Dept. has been promoted to Senior TD of 2-Game, and is also retaining her role in Swiss.

The Board is also delighted to welcome a number of new staff:
Steve Ryan: 2-Game

Trios
The Trio event has been dropped from the 2-Game Department, for a number of reasons. Multi-game events are well catered for by the Class, Knockout and Swiss Departments, and demand for trios was relatively low.
By dropping trios, the administration of the 2-Game Dept. is simplified and made more similar to thematics, and the more unified are the procedures of different departments, the better the TD's in other departments can support and cover for each other, ultimately improving services to our members.
A link has been added to the Team Page, to the PGN file for the IECC-104 team match. There are no results, yet. The PGN file simply contains the pairing data.
