Almost all the stories I tell on this blog concerning chess organisation are tales of misery and woe. However the ANU Chess Club is an exception to this state of affairs, and 2008 sees it going great guns. In fact we are having difficulty in fitting in all the players who currently play at the club, and we may need to find extra room to accommodate new players. But I would rather have this problem than not have it.
Of course extra players does mean some extra work, and my own game this evening got off to a late start as I had to replace batteries in the DGT's at the club as 3 of them decided to not to work (despite me checking them the week before). Fortunately it didn't affect my play to badly and I scored a nice win over Alan Setiabudi, in part to my use of the TMI* System.

Hi, Shaun!
I loved this post.
Being at ANU last night I'm assuming you weren't watching "Inspiring Teachers" on SBS? The featured science teacher also ran the chess club (in the science lab and with the resident pet mice assisting over the boards).

The mouse was the arbiter presumably.
