... and I think you are wrong. Have been involved with CFC chess ever since I came to Canada (1994), have been paying my membership every year (even if I played one official game in the past 10 years...) and have been raising new chess players to represent Canada year after year, etc.
How about my challenge to you: buy a 1 year membership! Give CFC a chance to exist and do things for ches lovers all over Canada! Can you do that much? If you are not satisfied after 1 year, come over at the chess club in Burnaby and I will personally reimburse you the money. Maybe seeing all those youngsters play more and complain less will change your opinion...
