cheers,

It probably is not an an important disagreement fg7.

You and I probably are convinced that the Club structure of Chess Victoria has more to offer than the NSW and QLD structures of individual voting rights.

I was just being a bit pedantic to point out that the CV Constitution is rather more broadly based than 'Clubs needs'.
As a Club member, in Mexico, I am more likely to volunteer to help CV than if I was in NSW, I suspect.

ok, it seems that there is enough dissent to take the case a stage further. I will take the issue to the MCC committee and with their backing will canvas the other club committee's. If a majority of clubs see a problem, then I suppose the next stage is something raised at an AGM.

This morning I talked to Leonid Sandler, though not about this issue. Next year I will be stepping down from the MCC committee to become a humble duty officer of the club. In this case I would consider standing for CV committee, though I'd be reluctant to use my voting power if I joined the committee as I feel it's just plain wrong.

If I had a vote I would vote for you.

Thanks

I quite like the idea of Trophies Officer, though I have big shoes to fill

A trophies officer would basically need a hotline to Michael Baron, as hardly anyone else ever wins the top prize in Victoria chess tournaments these days.

This list

Code:

    
*  Honorary Life Members, NSWCA
    * CASSETTARI, Peter
    * COOK, Roger
    * FLATOW, Alfred (Fred)
    * GASTINEAU-HILLS, Richard
    * GLETSOS, William (Bill)
    * GREENWOOD, Norman
    * HENDRY, Ian
    * HOOPER, Dr Max
    * KOSHNITSKY, Evelyn
    * MADDIX, John
    * NEEDLEMAN, Morris
    * PARR, Peter
    * PURDY, John
    * ROGERS, Ian
    * VINER, Phillip (Phil)

would certainly make your point have another dimension.

Talking about Peter, last time I saw him back in January this year, he told me that he was considering selling his business at some stage.
He is in a great form and always willing to give a well informed opinion in all matters regarding Chess.
I look forward to see him again next time I visit Sydney for a Chess tournament!

Is Peter the chap who puts out that Australasian chess magazine? Its not a bad publication from the handful of them I have seen over the years.

No, you're thinking of Shaun Press.
