Grading and Game Fee Announcement

Roger Edwards has resigned as a Director of the BCF, but has agreed to continue serving the BCF on grading as an Officer of the BCF. Consequently, the BCF Management Board has decided that:

a) Robert McFarland (Finance Director) will take over responsibility for Game Fee and is the person to whom all questions on Game Fee should be addressed.
b) Chris Majer (SCCU Representative) is appointed to the post of Acting Grading Director with David Thomas (Birmingham & District League Representative) as Deputy. These arrangements will be presented to the April Council Meeting for approval. Chris is now the person to whom questions on Grading should be addressed. Chris will be establishing a team to work on various elements of the Grading system so as to ensure that the 2001 Grading List is a success. Anyone wishing to assist should contact Chris.

The Grading system to be used for the 2001 list will be a hybrid system, utilizing elements of the Chris Howell and pre-Chris Howell systems. This will have the benefit that additional checking of submitted grading results will be possible without any essential change in the format in which local graders are asked to submit results. Further details of the progress on the 2001 Grading List will be published by Chris shortly.
