Australian Vote chess team

Hi fellow Aussies, expats,

Myself and two other Aussies would like to put together an Aussie vote chess team. We'd like a team of 10 players before we start challenging other teams.

Cool If you'd like to join this team and challenge lets say... the Americans for starters, please drop me a note and I'll keep you up to date with the progress.

Cheers from Danny

No worries mate, that's four of us. 6 more and we'll start putting out the challenges.

Hi,

Would it matter if I'm actually a South African living in Australia?

I would love to be part of the team?

How are the team doing? how may members still needed?

DannyOboy

We have 5 members,

Basically each Aussie I've played plus one from the forum post.

Perhaps we should try to make a start with the members we have and see what transpires. Perhaps more will join if we are playing games.

Cheers from Danny

Welcome Trent the chestnut & kco, I'll send you both a friendship request so we can keep in touch about the teams development.

That makes seven. Great!

OK... while I am waiting on my next move I've been hunting around this site and have found where the chess.com members list is and in it is a listing by country!

So... If a site manager is reading this post could they please tell me if it would be considered spamming if I sent an info about this "Aussie vote chess team" plan to the Australaian members of Chess.com?

Also: There are a few Australian online groups in chess.com. Because I am not a financial member of chess.com I have asked one of the groups sites managers if they would consider allowing the "Aussie Vote chess team" to use his group for comunications & team development. Why? : because chess.com online groups can only be run by financial members.

I am going to join the Aussie groups online here at chess.com to invite players to our Aussie vote chess team.

Cheers from Danny.Cool

UNFORTUNATELY I am now aware that in fact I would have to upgrade my membership to enable me to run such a project. I am not cashed up enough to do so. If anyone wants to take this further by all means blaze ahead and please invite me as I can join in but not run the show. Best wishes from Danny
