Chess Club returns to Wembley after 68 years absence - opportunities for all ages
Website: www.willesdenchess.co.uk
Email: FULTON790@aol.com
Willesden and Brent Chess Club started a chess night at Chalkhill Community Centre early last month and is looking for new members.
Wembley had its own Club from 1921 until 1954 but the Willesden and Brent Club concentrated on the south of the borough and admit that Wembley has been poorly served.
That is all going to change now with the group effectively now running a Wembley Club every Wednesday that will introduce the game to a new generation of players.
The new venue is in stark contrast to one of Wembley Chess Club's previous homes:
Chalkhill Community Centre/Welford Centre 113 Chalkhill Road, Wembley Park, HA9 9FX
Generally, the accepted age range for Juniors is a minimum of 6 years old and a a maximun age of 17. If there is a history of chess in the family the absolute minimum could be 5 years old depending on the ability of the child to concentrate on increasingly complex games.
Membership normally runs from early September until late June the following year (January until June this year). Membership entitles you to attend club nights every week and to play in league matches and club tournaments.
Tuition is offered by a certified DBS chess trainer, for juniors as well as adults.
Beginners and players of all abilities are very welcome.
First three visits are FREE!
The Chess Club will be a welcome addition to the many varied activities that take place at Chalkhill Community Centre.
The Chalkhill Community Centre is an short walk from Wembley Park Station (cross the road at the Bridge Road exit, turn left and then right at Paddy Power).
Buses 83, 182, 206, 297 stop on Bridge Road.

Brent Civic Centre closed tomorrow for controlled explosion of World War 2 bomb - residents' rest centre at Chalkhill Community Centre
You may have already heard that Police were called at around 3pm today to a building site on Empire Way, Wembley, to reports of an unexploded device believed to be from World War 2.
It was discovered by builders working at the location and it is believed to weigh approximately 50kg. Road closures along with a 400m cordon is in place around the site which includes the Civic Centre, whilst work is underway to make safe the device.
As a precaution, a number of residential and business addresses have also been evacuated, including residents of Alexander Court and Ada Lewis House. At this stage we do not know exactly how long this incident is likely to last however, a rest centre has been set up at Chalkhill Community Centre for affected residents.
Brent Civic Centre will be closed all day on Friday 22 May as the council has been advised that bomb disposal experts are planning a controlled explosion at some stage tomorrow morning. Business continuity plans are being activated to ensure vital council services keep running although these may be skeleton services in some cases.
Employees who are able to work from home are being advised to do so, unless your line manager has told you otherwise. Some core staff will need to be based at Bridge Park Community Leisure Centre on Friday and your line manager will talk to you if are required. If you are unable to work from home on Friday you are advised not to come to the Civic Centre as it will not be open.
A gold group, chaired by the Chief Executive, has been activated and we will update you with more information about the impact on services when we know more. An emergency phone line is also being set up and live updates will be available on the council website and twitter feed as we get them.

Petition launched against Birbalsingh's Michaela Free School
The wording is self-explanatory:
We believe that the evidence from ‘free’ schools has shown that they lead to increased social segregation, lower attainment and have been run for profit. Brent schools are in the top 10% of schools in the country so have a proven track record improving attainment for all children ensuring equal opportunities for pupils from all backgrounds.

Kids bored already - will this help?
A little girl stopped me on the Chalkhill Estate yesterday and rather forlornly asked me when school started again. She was bored and missed her teachers and friends and wanted to go back to school This was only day 4 of the 6 week summer holiday!
Ten years or more again, many Brent primary schools hosted summer play schemes, usually lasting for 4 weeks with activities, outings, and inter-playscheme competitions. Since then funds have dried up and the subsequent costs are too much for many families. The schemes were also affected by the amount of building work going on in the summer holiday in many schools which made them unavailable for hire.
Events for older children are available but have to be booked on-line and again entail charges. Details on: http://www.bmyvoice.org.uk/brentinsummer
Luckily Chalkhill Community Action have secured funding for 12 days activities connected with the Olympic Games for Chalkhill children aged 8-18: The Chalkhill Games. Tonight there will be a viewing of the Opening Ceremony at the Chalkhill Community Centre (Welford Centre, 113 Chalkhill Road) from 8.30pm and Chalkhill's Own Show tomorrow from 3-6pm in the Large Hall.
Subsequently, from Monday there will be activities from 2-5pm including quizzes, traditional games, making French skipping ropes and paper gliders, athletics and team games. Saturday 11th August will be for Under 5s only.
The activities are FREE but parents are asked to be responsible for their children outside the stated times and make arrangements to bring them and pick them up.
