I know it's August, were all on holiday and everyone is bored with my constant harping on this theme but I'm going to put all my cards on the table for once. Here is my proposal - in a very straightforward manner - for a new local charity in Stroud…
Sadly, @grenners, there's been no response to my email - perhaps it went astray. However, I have got the lad a free place at a childrens chess camp in Swiss Cottage later this month and there may be a place for him in Stroud Green School chess club…
