The Guyana Chess Federation (GCF) holds its biennial chess meeting via Zoom conferencing on Monday, November 1, 2021 from 18:00 hours. Financial members are invited to attend the meeting.

The GCF advised its membership that a list of those “who have met the membership eligibility criteria can be found on the GCF’s Facebook page and its website Guyana-chess.org.” Further, October 24 is the last date by which any claims and objections could be made by members who believe themselves eligible, but are not on the list, or who wish to object to any name(s) that are on the list. It is also the closing date for the payment of membership fees. The window for all the above closes at 18:00 hrs, the GCF said.

Meanwhile, nomina-tions for the election of the new board of directors and management committees will be accepted between October 21 to 24. How-ever, these can only be made by financial members and they can also only nominate financial members as well. 

The agenda for the meeting was given as part of the advisory. Copies of the constitution and a five-year development plan (2019-2024) can be found on the GCF Facebook page and Guyanachess.org.
