Winter Butterfly  -  17a    20/1/03

 

Dear Friends 

Winter Butterfly is back from it s December hibernation.  There were no special reasons for its long sleep, its just that I was getting a bit overtired and decided to take a rest.  There's a fair amount of catching up to do, so the sooner we start the better.

Welsh Results from the World Youth Championships

If you remember we left our hero fighting it out in round 6.  This edition contains the full results.  While nobody set the world on fire they all held their own.  An excellent performance given the standard of the opposition.  I'm sure you' all like to join me in congratulating our representatives. 

From Mark Adams 

All, 

The WCU Selection and Qualification sub-committee are due to meet at the end of this month. They will come up with proposals which will be presented at the AGM. In order to move forward at the AGM, it is important to get the views of members prior to this meeting. We have had nearly a year now since Kevin Staveley published his discussion document on this topic. At present, we have had only 4 replies. 

If you wish to have a say, there are a few options. 

1) email me direct.

2) Place your thoughts for open discussion on the Forum at the Gwent Chess site http://www.mark-adams-home.com/website/index.htm

3) Send your thoughts to Dai James for inclusion in Winter Butterfly.

 regards

 Mark Adams dep Exec. Director WCU.

 Thanks Mark.
