Website trimmings and less stress chess

Now the new grades are out I've made some minor changes to the website which include taking members' grades off altogether. They can be easily accessed via the ECF website and I'm concerned we may be discouraging some newer players from becoming, or remaining, members - when I first joined I'm sure there were more casual players and nothing was online. Also it's quite a faff to transpose grids and they often don't behave as they should. I'm thinking of leaving off the  fixtures as well as they're a particular nightmare to get on the page and it's hard to keep them  up-to-date and reliable. Would anybody miss them? The charts might even be in for the chop too as without the chequered grid - which we've been unable to re-produce on the new website - they're both more tricky and less use. Plus I've made the page background darker to make it all easier to read. Let me know if you've any other comments or things you might use the website for, e.g. check out the Dieppe page and the cool Events Calendar we didn't have before. Otherwise - whatever the new grade - relax, wash, purr and enjoy.
