Re: ECF Finance Meeting
are they looking at online only offer as it may be a hard sell for members?

Online chess is predominantly free
....an "Online Membership" category may be a possible short term solution.
Hard to say what the % uptake would be
....but an ever increasing number of cheats, engine users, dishonest individual's (call them what you like) may deter some individual's from joining.

I thought they had already done this. You aren't allowed to play in ECF online graded events unless a "supporter" of the ECF which is charged at £ 10 a year.Paul Robert Jackson wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 9:53 pmOnline chess is predominantly free

Over the board chess as generally known isn't going to be possible in the UK until such time as freedom of movement and freedom of association are restored. Doom mongers in SAGE seem to want to retain restrictions for ever, not withstanding a supposedly successful vaccine campaign.

Re comment by Nick below

Added to the package is the go membership scheme. You have to pay a small extra fee extra for this. However it can literally save you thousands of pounds in discounts over the course of a year.

Re: ECF Finance Meeting
ECF- and 4NCL-organised online events which are ECF-rated require participants to be ECF Supporters or ECF Members but I think it's possible other events may not. (So far as I can see, no stipulations for the rating of online events are given on the membership pages of the ECF website.)Roger de Coverly wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 10:49 pmI thought they had already done this.

By around September, all vulnerable groups should have been vaccinated twice and most restrictions will surely be lifted as a result.
