The 2024 WCCF Annual General Meeting will take place online on Sunday 8th December at 10:30am.

No agenda items have been submitted, so the only matter of business for the AGM will be to elect the Executive Committee for 2025.

The following candidates have accepted nominations:

• President: Paul Scott
• General Secretary: Austin Lockwood
• International Secretary: Austin Lockwood

As there is only one nomination for each position, just one vote is sufficient for each candidate to be elected; the new Executive Committee will co-opt a treasurer.

Premium Members not able to attend the meeting may submit their votes to the General Secretary ([email protected]) by email.

The Zoom link for the AGM will be circulated to Premium Members in advance of the meeting.  National and International members wishing to observe the meeting may contact the General Secretary for the link.

Congratulations Russell for achieving IM and SIM norms in Dobri Semov Memorial Elo 2400-2499

Well deserved!

UPDATE!

Russell has now achieved enough norms for the IM title by achieving a second IM norm in the US Invitational 2024/C.  The title will be awarded when confirmed by the Qualifications Commissioner.  Well played Russell!
