Please note the following three proposals for The 1999 A.G.M.

Cleveland Chess Association.
1) That Teams in Division 'A' shall comprise FIVE Players.
2) That Teams in Division 'B' shall comprise FIVE Players.
3) That in all League Matches the HOME Team shall have

1999 is the centenary year of THE NORTHERN COUNTIES CHESS UNION
and just one
of the events marking the occasion will be the staging in
SCARBOROUGH of The
1999 British Chess Championships during the first two weeks of
August.
On Saturday Aug. 7th we plan a centenary Dinner at THE SPA and I
would like
to know if Members of Cleveland Chess Association are interested
in attending.
It is anticipated that the cost will be in the region of £20 and
is likely to
take the form of a carvery.
Please contact Gery Walsh for further information.

The KO Cup brought up a masive upset with Middlesbrough A Beating Middlesbrough Rooks
Mr Kiddle used every excuse in the book i was told even the date was a fiddle can not take a beating may be they will have to get used to it.
The cup this year has been a great success and has been enjoyed by all should we do it again next season? i think yes.

Breaking news I have heard by a little birdie that there will be official news about the new BCF chairman .I can not name who it is but we all know him, i am just waiting for the phone call to make it official
Well done all of you who attended Redcar Congress i have been told there should be a congress next year.
Well we are half way through the season and thing`s are starting to take shape.
there is only two teams unbeaten MIDDLESBROUGH ROOKS & LADLE B I put Middlesbrough first
some people might think i am byest. Me!!! Never.
Whats this the all time dominant team struggling at the bottom of Division A.Could there be a crisis at the club
(i dont wont to start any roomers but some one has too) will they survive,or will the crisis deepen,lets wait and see.
I am in the middle of putting together a player performance for the league and cup.
It will be based on your opponents grade +50 for win = for draw and - 50 for loss.Its only for fun so dont take it
seriously ok.It will take a week or so but should make for fun reading.
Ray pallister will be sending all team captains a grading list for January these grades are taken from the NCCU
updated list if you are entering redcar you must use this grade and in the league until further notice.
PLEASE NOTE:- D Priestley of Whitby Has been given a grade of 115 this is taken from his last
known grade 15 years ago.I was not know this until I phoned whitby to enquire.
It would be nice if i was informed of players who have come from another county,had a grade before,any info
would be nice if they have played before.Their has been 5 or so players who have been given grades for
one reason or another, thanks for letting me know!! NOT. Right ive had my moan.
