I got the impression that there was a subtext, that a religious relief, namely "Christian Domestic Discipline" was under trial. The actual activities taking place forming part of this were not in the main disputed.<br /><br />Has it been revealed years ago that the head of the Couldsdon Chess was a proponent in this, it might well have been considered damaging to his reputation. You could imagine all the puns about his approach to meetings when on the BCF Board.<br /><br />My guess would be that only a selected few in the CCF church were invited to "share his views" and the verdict of the trial was that it was only legal if both parties were adults who wished to follow these practices.<br /><br />RdCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970746810324898604.post-39878363256020104702016-05-16T13:15:38.598+02:002016-05-16T13:15:38.598+02:00You also can't remember your name, recalling w...You also can't remember your name, recalling which might be handy if you wish to comment again.

This post is essentially my reply to that specific question.<br /><br />It’s absolutely true that the questions that apply to SCCA locally also apply to the ECF nationally. That said, I doubt the ECF have the ability or motivation to actually do anything either. More much likely they’ll conclude that it’s Somebody Else’s Problem.<br /><br />Which is how abuse goes unreported and unchecked in the first place.<br />Jonathan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293162543015231439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970746810324898604.post-88398225556772496962016-05-16T11:32:50.222+02:002016-05-16T11:32:50.222+02:00Is it not a wider question than purely the Surrey ...<i>Is it not a wider question than purely the Surrey County Association?</i><br /><br />I would have said so, yesejhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01582272075999298935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970746810324898604.post-14361072369376016932016-05-16T10:56:17.536+02:002016-05-16T10:56:17.536+02:00Is it not a wider question than purely the Surrey ...Is it not a wider question than purely the Surrey County Association? Congresses open to the wider public are held in Coulsdon. The ECF has even held a couple there. Should the chess public in general boycott these events? Mind you when the ECF tried to run its Womens Championship there, it had to be cancelled because of insufficient entries. This was after the court case was known about. <br /><br />RdCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
