The Victorian week in chess - trial posting.
This is a test posting. There may be errors. Do people think that this is a good idea. Clubs who have not sent their 2010 calendars to Gerrit Hartland may not have their events listed.
Monday, January 25 All day ACF Australian Junior Tuesday, January 26 All day Australia Day 9:30am BHCC Social chess 9:30am CJCC School holiday program 7:00pm MCC Novice Night Wednesday, January 27 6:29pm BEN - social & junior chess 6:30pm BAL Social chess 7:00pm MCC - Endgame coaching group 8:00pm Bal Spielvogel Memorial 8:00pm BEN - Summer Swiss Friday, January 29 7:45pm BHCC Fischer Random Chess Saturday, January 30 1:00pm ELW Allegro 2:00pm MCC - Allegro 7:00pm MCC - ballroom Blitz Sunday, January 31 2:00pm CJCC Coaching 7:30pm MCC - Annual General Meeting

Great work!
David,
Please keep this up! Somebody shouldve done this years ago! This is very important for Victorian chess and Victorian chess clubs. Now people can easily find out what is on and where in Victoria on any given day of the week. It would be particularly useful for international and interstate visitors who are only here for short term stays, but also for locals who simply get the urge to play chess on a night that their own club doesnt meet. Keep up the great work!

Seems like a good idea!
Just seconding Grant - looks like a winner. Small quibble - some better formatting would not go astray - time/where/what on one line perhaps? Club names are also probably a bit cryptic to those not in the know - some legend/web links to add?

formatting etc
Thank you Grant and Shump for the feedback. I have more work to do on this task. As I said it was a trial of the system. Next week should be a big week with Ranges springing into action.
I spoke to Geelong who are still working on their calendar. I also spoke to people at Croyden but could not get any definitive answers. David

Great idea. If I may suggest some improvements (assuming you can get all the clubs to submit their calendars to you) ...
1. If you post this in 1 thread, that effectively becomes the first port of call for anything to do with chess in Victoria. 2. If you post this every Thursday in that thread, that changes peoples behaviour to automatically go to that thread to look for anything to do with chess in Victoria. 3. If you post this every Thursday a week ahead, that changes peoples behaviour to automatically go to that thread to plan for anything to do with chess in Victoria in the coming week. Note: Substitute Thursday for an appropriate day. Regards, Mike |

trial two no guarantees on content.
this is a second trial to improve the look of the postings. Please note that so far only one club has responded to my request to check the information before I post it. So please do not treat the information here as being correct. Check it on the individual club web pages. Nevertheless this is a much busier week with a great deal happening in various clubs and a weekender coming at Ranges.

Big improvement. If you can get it to look like this, it would be even better. Not sure if your calendar program can output them on a single line. If not, you can ignore this back-seat driver...

What about something like this
Kyle's New Web Site PS..This is my own personal one that only has the dates for things I was interested in! It is also missing things that I did not have dates for plus there has probably been some changes since I put it together. You can give each club access to edit their own entries and show each club in a different colour. Also nice add ons like the map link for each entry. (I still have to fix some of the map references) |

Thanks to you guys.
Within twenty four hours of the Croydon AGM I received information on your calendar from three different sources.

The week in Victorian Chess trial posting.
Some clubs have not yet finalized their calendars. Other calendars have not yet been checked. So once again this is a draft and you should check events against club calendars. Drastic changes in format are possible.

If it is I will send a copy to the Croydon Chess Club. I worked from the PDF version of the calendar. It would be best if my list is checked against the calendar on the web site as this would reveal any discrepancies between the web site calendar and the PDF calendar.
