Excellent event and great to see the activity out there, so thanks to Kevin and all involved in bringing it about. Gerry Smiths presentation was a real eye opener, we really have a lot that we can learn from each other.
An approach to build our expertise and our chess clubs :
1. Connect (C) e.g. we work in same area, share same objectives.
2. Do (D) e.g. everyone has different skill sets, we excel in different areas.
3. Share (S) e.g. we can learn thru others successes.
Examples of "CDS" .. Eamonn got a grant from his local council for setting up a new club, Ron mentioned that he secured sponsorship, Darko has had mighty success producing highly rated players and building a relationship with local media etc.. and I'm sure more to come.
Whose to say we won't .. motivate and inspire others simply by sharing our stories.
Excellent!
