Voluntary fees

Board Fee

The Council on 6 July 2023 accepted the necessity of funding county chess wholly or partly through board fees (i.e. a fixed sum collected from each Middlesex player at every home match) during any season in which League fees and any other income are insufficient. 

The Treasurer after consulting county match captains accordingly decided that until League fees and other income are sufficient, each player should be asked to pay voluntary Board Fee of £5 for each home match for which he or she is selected. Board Fee has been collected on that basis from the 2023/24 season onwards.
