Now That the Election is Over - OzChess

**flavid dude** · 12-02-2009, 11:08 AM

Ideally this should be set up as a separate thread and not put under the election thread - moderators please consider this idea.

It is now time to sift through the postings on the election thread to sort out the good ideas from the chaff. Clearly the new executive will do this but in my opinion it will be helpful if the various posters on this forum post their ideas.

I am not going to post my ideas first up as I do not wish to hog the limelight.

One thing that is good to see is that Trevor Stanning and David Grenness are fast out of the blocks and have already commenced the process of transferring the function of Treasurer.

I think the CV council would do well to continue consulting with Trevor at length as he is really the heart and soul of Victorian Chess.

Develop a team tournament ASAP

**ChessGuru** · 12-07-2009, 02:02 PM

Come on New CV Committee...I know it's only been a week, but "start as you mean to go on" is a good policy. People only ever remember the first and last things you do.

Why take the time to update the 2010 Office Bearers without phone numbers and email addresses of the rest of the committee? CV Officebearers Website.

And the Calendar for 2010? At least take the time to remove the 2009 info so it is a blank-slate...

Come on guys....pick up the pace, you won the election now prove you deserve the positions.

Hopefully it will be done in the next fortnight.

The first draft of the Chess Victoria calendar for 2010 is now on the website. Ranges and Box Hill were deep into the preparation of their calendars and information about them was sent to the web master. This is why you will find much information about their activities in 2010 but less about other clubs activities for 2010.

The lack of info for Croydon in particular is disappointing.

**Il cavaliere inesistente** · 12-09-2009, 11:01 PM

I too am disappointed but only because you are disappointed.
But then clubs may be in the process of submitting tournament details to the CV secretary for inclusion. One never knows do one

If one were to look at the Croydon website you would find that they generally have their AGM in Jan.
(With Snail King involved I am sure it will be held on time!)

Similar dates normally exist for other clubs as well and this is where they will all confirm their calendars for 2010.

This is probably a good starting point when talking about communication between clubs, and is also why CV moved their AGM back to Nov.

CV needs to talk to clubs about a common AGM date so that calendars can be published on a common date.

Also applicable for entry into the Gran Prix as that has a Dec cut off date also.

Latest blog post with my commentary on CV progress.

**Little Black Cat** · 12-25-2009, 11:43 PM

Hi Il cav',

My Club has just approved our 2010 calendar, we would be happy to submit it to CV for inclusion, but we don't know where to send it to. Would you please be so kind as to indicate a CV contact address?

Thank you!

Thank you!

If you e-mail it to the CV President, Leonid Sandler, I am sure he will pass it on to the focal responsible for putting the CV calendar together. Leonid can be reached at lsandler2004@yahoo.com.au.

You can include your full calendar at Chess Clubs and Players of Victoria as well - and then embed your club google calendar on your club website.

email admin@chessclub.com.au for your club username and password.

There are help video's online to help you do this... and if you still require more help just let me know and I'm happy to show you how it all works.

**Z&MLoh** · 12-26-2009, 07:52 PM

Or you get it included in the real McCoy....

**flavid dude** · 12-26-2009, 08:03 PM

Send your calendar to "Gerry Hartland" <gerrit.hartland@bigpond.com> Send a copy to me as well please.

I have carried out an evaluation of various calendars and the google calendar is in my opinion the best that I have seen. I recommend it.

David's help feature is very good. I cannot comment too much on the videos as they did not have subtitles but they looked O.K. Watch them even if you decide to build your own calendars. I shall be building a personal calendar with such things as car servicing and dentists appointments. The personal calendar features are magic.

You can easily build calendars for yourself by logging into Google and it has instructions as to how to embed the calendar into your website. It works as I am sure that David's code does. (I read the source code).

Should you build your own calendar or use the offer made by David Cordover? Do not fret over this issue. Whether you build the calendar yourself or use David's site the calendar remains yours. You can easily move in either direction.

If you decide to make the change it will require a very small change to David's site, your clubs website, and very likely in a short time the Chess Victoria website.

As I have as I posted previously I have been looking at David's site in depth.
I was going to hold fire on suggestions for improvements but this issue is one that needs to be addressed.
