The newest chess club in Melbourne
In a previous post I asked you to imagine a chess club at every one of the 154 libraries in Victoria.
Here’s the first demonstration of what it could actually look like. In just its third week the Broadmeadows Library Chess Club attracted nearly 40 players!

Box Hill Chess Club – angel or devil?
Box Hill Chess Club (BHCC) has been a hive of chess activity over the past 7 years while most other clubs have been slowly dwindling away. Chess Victoria became less and less active and really, thank goodness for BHCC. Without the BHCC it is likely that CV wouldn’t exist today!
Luckily things today are very different. We now have energetic clubs, memberships starting to increase and CV is about to leap forward too. Did BHCC cause the drought or did they sustain us through the drought?

How can you be a part of Chess Victoria?
I believe at a fundamental level every single chess player in Victoria would like to do something to help improve the state of chess in Victoria. They just don’t know what to do.
Its time for you to step forward!

Grand final day
Looking forward to the game this afternoon (even if the season ended for Collingwood last week)! Driving around it’s fun to see flags on every car, posters in shop windows, balloons tied to fences and everyone with their scarves and jumpers.

The sincerest form of flattery
I am honoured. I really am.
The current CV Junior Director has radically altered the format of the school-teams events this year; and I’ve just heard that there have been more changes, this time to the CV Schools-Finals.

We are losing 5000 chess players per year
I’ve estimated that 5000 potential new club members are slipping through our fingers every year!
Why? What’s the problem? And how can we stop it?

- External Funding

Where does all the money go?
Having been out of the club scene for a number of years I don’t expect to know anything about the CV Financial situation.
What amazes me is that everyone else is as ignorant as I am! Why are we being kept in the dark?
