FM TITLE FOR LEE JONES After a delay of just over a year, Lee Jones has finally been advised that he has been awarded the FM Title as a result of his performance in last year's Oceanic Zonal. Congratulations Lee. ACF WEBPAGE The ACF webpage www.auschess.org.au has been down for the last few days whilst Paul Broekhuyse's computer visits the computer doctor. I understand the webpage will be back up in the next day or two. ACF LOGO The ACF are looking at revamping the ACF logo which perhaps is looking a little tired. Is there a graphic designer who would be prepared to do the work free of charge please? SCHOOLS EVENTS The Australian Schools Teams competition is now well underway right around the country. Joe Tanti reports participation has grown from previous years in South Australia and now includes around 250 teams, each playing at one of 19 venues. Joe has been setting up the new SAJCL website www.sajcl.org to handle on-line handling and reporting of results. The Gold Coast held round two of its primary competition this week with 727 students from 39 schools participating. See Andrew Allen's webpage for full info www.coastchess.com. I was reading in Peter Parr's Sydney Morning Herald column that the NSWJCL are expecting around 8,500 participants in their schools event this year. I'd be very pleased to hear from any organisers from around Australia about progress in your schools teams competition, however small or large.
