    Category……May 1, 2015……..Jan 1, 2016
    Family…………….…18………………31
    Honorary….….…..78………………82
    Junior………………565…………….613
    Life………………….393…………….402
    Adult……………...807…………….815
    Total…………...1,861………...1,943


    This is still a far cry from the glory days (1994-1999) when membership exceeded 3000, but it is progress. We face greater challenges these days: competition from the internet, membership demographics.


    Many thanks to our many chess organizers, club executives, tournament directors, instructors, the cfc executive and voting members, CMA, FQE, provincial affiliates, and all of our membership for a successful year.
    We have to go back ten years in order to find a time when our membership numbers were better. I think that we can say this is a positive development.
