Owen Philips has decided to stand down from the post of Manager for Accessible Chess on health grounds. During his tenure Owen has taken forward a number of initiatives to support disabled players and has prepared a very helpful report with areas to consider for further ECF support. The ECF would like to thank Owen for his valuable contribution in a short period. As Owen is standing down, we are now looking for someone to take on the role, which is an important one for the ECF, as input to our future plans.
If you are interested in the role and feel that you can contribute to the ECF’s support for accessible chess, please apply to director.homechess@englishchess.org.uk. Please use the same email address for general enquiries about accessible chess support.
