A New Year of Chess

The local chess club had the 2014 business meeting tonight. This is the meeting at which important awards are given - club championship, most improved player - and officers are elected. Since the club is very informal, there was not a lot of discussion about the officers; three of the four were re-elected without any opponents. Last year's president is going to be extremely busy this year, so his position has been filled by someone else. However, the responsibility will be far more spread around this year, and in fact I will officially be the webmaster. There will be a few (again very informal) committees around to take care of various things like securing venues, promoting tournaments, and thinking of new things for the web site.
