After reading this thread, I am very surprised Bill Gletsos holds ANY position in chess administration.

Then again it is the ACF, hardly transparent now is it?

If Gary Wastell (former ChessVictoria President of 20 years+) runs this organisation you will find the same rot.

then of course , there's the question that has to be asked , of who keeps voting them in , and why ?

and what is the probability that things would be worse if they were substituted by the likely incumbents ?

..just a couple of RA approved salient questions.

If NSW is anything like ChessVictoria then the worst sort of stacking, fudging of numbers, 'endorsed clubs', 'dis-endorsed clubs'. Who knows what sort of 'voting' takes place.

Here the Box Hill Chess Club, Canterbury Chess Club White Horse Junior Chess Club etc is basically the same group of people!

This club claims to have 300 members! A laughable claim.

VicChess spent $30,000 in the last 5 years financially supporting this 'club'.

Their statutory declarations are witnessed by [someone]!

Conflict of interest anyone?

etc etc etc etc etc....

i'd spend less time typing "etc" and more time substantiating your claims .

HOw many elephants can one fit in a room?

Is [someone's] wife related to Sally Webster?

Sounds a bit like ALP NSW branch stacking.

How was the 30,000 spent?

Is that where Moz is treasurer?
