    Default CFC Memberships

    Well, I am posting over here since AFAIK Chesstalk is still infested with viruses.
    Hopefully that will be fixed soon.
    But maybe it's better to give the membership updates on our own blog anyway,
    so here goes.

    Membership numbers for Dec 1 are 2,226.
    Down just 2 from Nov. 1 of 2,228.
    Still positive for the year, but

    What was the point it bottomed out at, in the 1700s I think?

    I imagine the holiday events will boost it up again.

    Annual membership numbers going back to 1993 can be found on the CFC website. Perhaps a little hard to find, but here is the link,
    http://chess.ca/membership-stats

    The low point was 1763 back in 2007. We have been clawing our way back ever since.
    I wasn't expecting a holiday boost, as December is usually quiet.
    But I am happy to report a small uptick in memberships.
    Memberships as of January 1, 2018 = 2,232
    Just shy of our recent high mark of 2,241. (Oct 1, 2017)

    Are Quebec members included in any of these counts? For instance...I am an FQE member as well as a life CFC member.

    FQE members are not included in these stats.
    CFC Life members are included in these stats, wherever they live.
    So Hugh, you are included in the count, just once.
