Vladyslav Shopynskyiis planning to participate in the upcoming British Chess Championship, competing in the Under-8 category. This is a wonderful opportunity for young talents like Vlad, who I firmly believe has the potential to represent both Ayrshireand Scotlandwith pride and distinction at this prestigious national event.

However, taking part in the championship involves several financial costs, including travel, accommodation, and entry fees. Therefore, we are kindly seeking assistance or guidance in securing funding or sponsorshipto support Vlad’s participation.

We would be sincerely grateful for any support or recommendations you can offer—such as local grants, sports development programs, or sponsorship opportunities for youth chess players.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Your support would mean a great deal and would help encourage the growth of young chess talent in our community.

Report on the Lightning event now available and the Summer Seniors has 5 entrants.

We have been loaned an almost complete set of Ayrshire Chess Bulletins and have now placed them on the site in the documents section

This completes what we have been generously allowed access to.

We have not got pages 6/7 of the 75/76 season and would like to receive any information about it's whereabouts.

The 31st edition consists of three pages which came out on the 26th December 1980. The possibility exists that the bulletins ceased publication at that point or a second bulletin out in, presumably, April or so would complete it. Any information as to what happened would be gratefully received.

If anyone has a copy of either buried somewhere we would be very interested in acquiring it to copy for the archive.

Due to the size of the paper used in the original it is sometimes necessary to scan a page twice to capture all the information which hopefully explains why there seems to be duplicate pages.
