Note:
1.The person holding the premier post was known as the Chairman from 1945-73, but from 1973-74 onwards has been officially called the President.
2.The deputy to the Chairman was not named in the minutes until 1984-85. However, from 1948-49 the retiring Chairman was designated as Deputy Chairman. From 1985-86 the post was retitled the Vice-President, and it has largely remained so, despite the Constitution of 1993 stating that this official should be called Deputy President. In 1988-89, the league decided that the President should spend the two years prior to the Presidency holding the position of Deputy.

=== LEAGUE TEAM CAPTAINS ===
In 1968-69, the WDCL entered a team into the Midland Weekend League. Although this team only seems to have played for two seasons, a League Team Captain was required for the first time. Since then the League has played infrequent matches, but has generally retained a Captain:-

Note:
1.The person holding the premier post was known as the Chairman from 1945-73, but from 1973-74 onwards has been officially called the President.
2.The deputy to the Chairman was not named in the minutes until 1984-85. However, from 1948-49 the retiring Chairman was designated as Deputy Chairman. From 1985-86 the post was retitled the Vice-President, and it has largely remained so, despite the Constitution of 1993 stating that this official should be called Deputy President. In 1988-89, the league decided that the President should spend the two years prior to the Presidency holding the position of Deputy.

Note:
1.The person holding the premier post was known as the Chairman from 1945-73, but from 1973-74 onwards has been officially called the President.
2.The deputy to the Chairman was not named in the minutes until 1984-85. However, from 1948-49 the retiring Chairman was designated as Deputy Chairman. From 1985-86 the post was retitled the Vice-President, and it has largely remained so, despite the Constitution of 1993 stating that this official should be called Deputy President. In 1988-89, the league decided that the President should spend the two years prior to the Presidency holding the position of Deputy.

=== LEAGUE TEAM CAPTAINS ===
In 1968-69, the WDCL entered a team into the Midland Weekend League. Although this team only seems to have played for two seasons, a League Team Captain was required for the first time. Since then the League has played infrequent matches, but has generally retained a Captain:-

'''Paul Bradley Sharratt 27th May 1951 to 10th February 2026'''

The WDCL and the greater chess world lost one of its stalwarts with the sudden and unexpected passing of Paul Sharratt on 10 February.

Paul made an immense contribution in many different ways, particularly in Midlands chess but also on the national stage. His local achievements are too extensive to list definitively, but he was CEO for the Midland Chess Counties Union, former President of the Birmingham Chess & District Chess League, President of Dudley & District Chess League, former secretary of Stourbridge Chess Club and founder and secretary of Kinver Chess Club and of course WDCL Records Secretary for six years.

[[File:Paul-Sharratt.png|150px|thumb|left|Paul Sharratt]]

In terms of personal achievements, he was presented with the Jim Friar award for services to Worcestershire chess in 2020, captained the Worcestershire u1650 team to become 2016 national champions, and won the Worcester & District Chess League individual competition for the Ball Cup in 2015. He was rightly proud of these achievements. Former MCCU CEO Ray Dolan said: “He was a legend”.

He did not, however, restrict himself to Midlands Chess. Before retiring, Paul was a head teacher and brought his professional knowledge and experience to bear through his contribution to safeguarding.

He was an ECF safeguarding officer, member of the ECF safeguarding team and a 4NCL safeguarding officer. He was primarily responsible for updating both the ECF’s and 4NCL’s Safeguarding Policy and was working with the rest of the team to enhance our ability to support the provision of DBS certificates throughout the chess world. He was a driving force who will be sorely missed.

That is not to say that Paul’s interests were limited to chess. He was a family man who was speaking last week about how he was looking forward to spending time in the summer away with his wife in their caravan and how his son’s adoption of two twins resulted in him becoming a grandfather. As County captain, he ensured that matches did not clash with Wolves’ playing at home where he was a season ticket holder with his son.

His local achievements are too extensive to list definitively, but he was CEO for the Midland Chess Counties Union, former President of the Birmingham Chess & District Chess League, President of Dudley & District Chess League, former secretary of Stourbridge Chess Club and founder and secretary of Kinver Chess Club and of course WDCL Records Secretary for six years.

In terms of personal achievements, he was presented with the Jim Friar award for services to Worcestershire chess in 2020, captained the Worcestershire u1650 team to become 2016 national champions, and won the Worcester & District Chess League individual competition for the Ball Cup in 2015. He was rightly proud of these achievements. Former MCCU CEO Ray Dolan said: “He was a legend”.

He did not, however, restrict himself to Midlands Chess. Before retiring, Paul was a head teacher and brought his professional knowledge and experience to bear through his contribution to safeguarding.

He was an ECF safeguarding officer, member of the ECF safeguarding team and a 4NCL safeguarding officer. He was primarily responsible for updating both the ECF’s and 4NCL’s Safeguarding Policy and was working with the rest of the team to enhance our ability to support the provision of DBS certificates throughout the chess world. He was a driving force who will be sorely missed.

That is not to say that Paul’s interests were limited to chess. He was a family man who was speaking last week about how he was looking forward to spending time in the summer away with his wife in their caravan and how his son’s adoption of two twins resulted in him becoming a grandfather. As County captain, he ensured that matches did not clash with Wolves’ playing at home where he was a season ticket holder with his son.

Note:
1.The person holding the premier post was known as the Chairman from 1945-73, but from 1973-74 onwards has been officially called the President.
2.The deputy to the Chairman was not named in the minutes until 1984-85. However, from 1948-49 the retiring Chairman was designated as Deputy Chairman. From 1985-86 the post was retitled the Vice-President, and it has largely remained so, despite the Constitution of 1993 stating that this official should be called Deputy President. In 1988-89, the league decided that the President should spend the two years prior to the Presidency holding the position of Deputy.

=== LEAGUE TEAM CAPTAINS ===
In 1968-69, the WDCL entered a team into the Midland Weekend League. Although this team only seems to have played for two seasons, a League Team Captain was required for the first time. Since then the League has played infrequent matches, but has generally retained a Captain:-

WDCL Members

Apmccumiskey:

=== Members of the League (1945 onwards) ===
The original membership of 8 clubs gradually increased to a peak of about 30 in 1976-77. Since then numbers have declined. The table below lists all the clubs, which have been accepted as members during this period, together with the dates of its membership. In a few exceptional cases though, some clubs do not appear to have entered teams e.g. Dudley 1947. A number of clubs also changed their names during membership. In those cases, the club has a listing under each of its names, e.g. Blanford Mere/Kingswinford has two entries. The exception is John Thompson, which despite several name changes was always commonly known as Thompsons. The table also shows that some clubs left the League at some point and were readmitted later. In such cases the Dates column shows two separate periods e.g. Chubb & Sons. 
[Key:- Names in italics = club listed elsewhere in the table; aka =also known as; 1978 or -78=year; 78/79= season; 78? or -73-78? =doubt about date]

Apmccumiskey: /* Members of the League (1945 onwards) */

=== Members of the League (1945 onwards) ===
The original membership of 8 clubs gradually increased to a peak of about 30 in 1976-77. Since then numbers have declined. The table below lists all the clubs, which have been accepted as members during this period, together with the dates of its membership. In a few exceptional cases though, some clubs do not appear to have entered teams e.g. Dudley 1947. A number of clubs also changed their names during membership. In those cases, the club has a listing under each of its names, e.g. Blanford Mere/Kingswinford has two entries. The exception is John Thompson, which despite several name changes was always commonly known as Thompsons. The table also shows that some clubs left the League at some point and were readmitted later. In such cases the Dates column shows two separate periods e.g. Chubb & Sons.

=== Members of the League (1945 onwards) ===
The original membership of 8 clubs gradually increased to a peak of about 30 in 1976-77. Since then numbers have declined. The table below lists all the clubs, which have been accepted as members during this period, together with the dates of its membership. In a few exceptional cases though, some clubs do not appear to have entered teams e.g. Dudley 1947. A number of clubs also changed their names during membership. In those cases, the club has a listing under each of its names, e.g. Blanford Mere/Kingswinford has two entries. The exception is John Thompson, which despite several name changes was always commonly known as Thompsons. The table also shows that some clubs left the League at some point and were readmitted later. In such cases the Dates column shows two separate periods e.g. Chubb & Sons.

=== Members of the League (1945 onwards) ===
The original membership of 8 clubs gradually increased to a peak of about 30 in 1976-77. Since then numbers have declined. The table below lists all the clubs, which have been accepted as members during this period, together with the dates of its membership. In a few exceptional cases though, some clubs do not appear to have entered teams e.g. Dudley 1947. A number of clubs also changed their names during membership. In those cases, the club has a listing under each of its names, e.g. Blanford Mere/Kingswinford has two entries. The exception is John Thompson, which despite several name changes was always commonly known as Thompsons. The table also shows that some clubs left the League at some point and were readmitted later. In such cases the Dates column shows two separate periods e.g. Chubb & Sons. 
[Key:- Names in italics = club listed elsewhere in the table; aka =also known as; 1978 or -78=year; 78/79= season; 78? or -73-78? =doubt about date]
