iar with chess.

Jake, who hopes to be a writer, has shown a real talent for creating a community, yet he told the Bugle that he had to jump in to be the umpire and blow the whistle when a couple of girls overturned another pair’s game, who then retaliated by overturning the first pair’s game!

Jake’s parents Nicole and Brendon, who own the Butcher’s Nook shop in Ter- ralong St, have been very supportive of Jake’s passion for chess. “He took to it really quickly and now it is a real passion,” his mum Nicole said to The Bugle. She has looked into the idea of Council adding a giant chess board to the grass at Coronation Park.

Jake is asking the Kiama Community to come forward to donate or support at least one giant chess set. The giant pieces are not only sturdy in wind and hard to steal but also have great visual impact for any audience watching the game.

If you are interested in supporting this initiative, for example if you happen to have a giant chess set sitting unused in your garage, please contact The Bugle directly, or Tricia Ashelford, the manager of Kiama Farmers Markets.
