I'd like to send you an ex-PM who now writes for "The Daily Male" but I am not a resident of Warrington.

It's OK I have just found a non-player in Durham to help out.

Now Boris is apparently at a loose end can he not be approached to be president of the ECF?

If you'd have asked before the recent Warrington Rapidplay, there would be lots of players there; there's quite a few players in the Warrington League, I could ask their President if you said what you wanted
Any postings on here represent my personal views

Not enough female players for that to be an attractive proposition for him!!!

I suggest approaching one of his children instead, to draw a parallel with the current ECF president.

If you mean the Warrington in Buckinghamshire, I live just down the road. But, as I suspect, it's the bigger one further north, then sorry, no can do 😢

Hi All,

And I now have a chess contact from Warrington who is going to help out.

Both Durham and Warrington have different DVD's in their £1.00 box I want.
The third one I wanted was in the Dundee branch but I did a day trip on my bus pass to get it.

Not a wasted day in Dundee, I picked up few cheap algebraic chess books (doublers) I can pass on to my cubs.
(they look at descriptive notation as if it's in Egyptian hieroglyphs so only algebraic will do.)

Today in a charity shop I picked up an Oxford Companion to Chess (1984 edition - my 3rd copy!) and two NIC year books (2014 and 2015) £1.00 each.
