Adam Ali
Chess: Treasurer
Having already been Treasurer in 23-24, I am the reliable and pro-active choice for this election.
Notably this year;
-
- I have taken the lead and initiative to discuss with world leading prop/quant-trading firms plans to sponsor our activities. A remarkable move for our club, given this would be the first sponsors in our history. This is an ongoing process, but I firmly believe these plans will materialize in the coming year - making YOUR paid for events with Chess cheaper, or even free.
- I am looking to take the lead on correspondence this year for an annual tournament against the University of Cambridge.
- Above all, I improved our budget from 2023 to allocate more money for pizza nights.
In 2024-25 I plan to
-
- Increase female participation in Chess (Queens are arguably the strongest piece after all!!)
- Improve our social media front particularly with our presence on TikTok - as with many other societies across the coutnry.
- With any sponsorship money, subsidise our annual BUCA (British Uni Chess Assoc.) trips.
Don't be a pawn - vote for Adam.
