The past year has seen a fall and rise in membership, from a notional 70 to a buoyant 67, which is set to continue recovering, with an accumulation of 28 contacts, some reportedly resulting from the intensive press coverage that has spearheaded our publicity drive. General pamphleting coupled with specific approaches to University halls will conduce towards realizing a century of members. The recent enrolment of a third lady player is especially welcome, but stronger female representation is needed. A questionnaire may enable us to improve our overall methods of recruitment. Bilateral entry into the National Championships has been initially successful, and excellent results have been obtained in county and district competitions, as will be attested when the trophies are awarded at three successive AGMs. The five local chess congresses have been keenly supported, with several outstanding individual performances. Enthusiasm and enterprise are the keynote qualities in this centennial year.
