Purpose
Rapidweaver style app for windows. I posted a link to a web builder for windows users on the windows tab (bottom left) on Kspirits.net - The link will be a banner at the top of the windows page - Maybe that will help. RapidWeaver 7.3.2 is now Available. Less than a week since the last RapidWeaver release, we're back with a brand new build. If you hadn't guessed yet, We're committed to updating and improving RapidWeaver on a very regular schedule. Possibly more so than any other web builder app on the. Browse for RapidWeaver Addons. The RapidWeaver Community is the only place to find every major RapidWeaver addon, both free and paid for. RapidWeaver for Mac is a powerful and easy to use web design app that puts you back in control. Build your own beautiful, responsive, websites without having to write a line of code.
The initial purpose was devising a way to run the Ken Stewart Quickplay in an online format. In this case devising a suitable registration system.
Next was to devise a way to display a timetable for various online tournaments. During this time of lockdown, there might be a greater demand for tournaments of various types - or not. Another aspect is that would our GPCC members want to still play on Thursday at 7.15 pm onwards or at different times?
Having devised a system, it may be that other clubs might want to have me set up a similar system for them.
Since setting up the website, there have been a number of tournaments, longer games and Quickplays that have involved various members of the Glasgow Polytechnic Chess Club. Some chess events have involved mostly people that I know from various chess clubs.
We have decided to hold the GPCC Club Championship in an online format. This will start on 5th November 2020, at 7.00pm and take the form of 10 rounds. Time control will be 45 min + 10 sec.

Mobile calendar needs some work!
Planned work
Over time the licensed font awesome 5 icons will be replaced as SVGs. This will increase the speed of the website.
