AGM Report: Julian takes the chair and Northwich join the League

 At the AGM held on July 16th, Julian Cook of Kidsgrove Chess Club has been elected Chairman of the NSDCA. He has been assisting retiring Chairman Robert Milner over the last two years. Julian’s term as President of the Association has come to an end and it is hoped that Robert will accept the Presidential role so that his wisdom and experience are not lost to the league.

Next season we will have a new club joining. The request of Northwich Chess Club to enter the league has been accepted. It is not yet agreed which division they will enter. This is the first new club entering since the return of Crewe Chess Club in 2014.

The meeting was well attended, and the association would like to thank Meir Chess Club for giving up their regular club night so the meeting could be held.

Late News: Robert Milner has become NSDCA President.
