Today we are happy to announce that the chess players get to stay in the mall at Park Royal.

Park Royal organzied several meetings with the chess players in order to sit and talk and understand more about our needs and what the community wants. This is an act of good will and makes this a perfect game of win/win for all. It was not their intention to cause any discomfort to the group. The players have been offered a spot designated especially for chess and fairly close to the food court on the same floor. A chess area has been promised and will have built in high tables much like the ones in the food court for playing chess. Together some recycling bins will be put in the area and food allowed to be eaten there at the tables whilst playing games. The public have equal rights to use this area also. We are all very grateful for this opportunity. The players all agree to take care of this area and make a commitment to welcoming anyone interested in stopping by to watch and learn.

I thank Park Royal for including me in an important board meeting where I was told that I represent the youth and that my voice was important and will be heard.

The community will be happy with this outcome. It’s obvious they played a great game of chess and assisted in leading the players toward victory. We all look forward to moving on and enjoying the future and plans in store for summer days at Park Royal.

Look out for this years joint community chess event at Park Royal Mall!
