Intergenerational Board Game Afternoon

Saturday 13 September 2025

1pm to 4pm Mortlake Hall

This event is organised by the Mortlake Community Association and the 2nd Mortlake Scout Group Cubs and aims to provide an afternoon of fun and laughter where young and older residents can interact over traditional board games.

There will be a bouncy castle, a variety of board games, chess led by the Chair of West London Chess Club, indoor activities such as art, codebreaking, and word searches.

Outdoors, we will offer sports including cricket, football, and table tennis.

To keep those brain cells working we will be offering an energy-fuelled menu of pizza, homemade cakes, hot drinks, and homemade lemonade.

There has been much local concern about the possible closure of the Unit / Hub at Queen Mary’s Hospital, Roehampton. A petition attracted 9000+ signatories – at the last count.

Sarah Olney, MP has now reported:

As some residents will know, the function and scope of the Enhanced Primary Care Hub in Roehampton, previously known as the Queen Mary’s Minor Injuries Unit, is under review.

While the Enhanced Primary Care Hub has altered since the pandemic to become a booking system, the facility is pivotal in reducing the already stressed A&E departments and GP practices in the area, while the nurses at the unit work tirelessly to see patients at a quick and efficient rate.

I have written to the Managing Director of St George’s University Hospital’s Trust to emphasise these points, as well as penning a letter to the Secretary of State for Health, Wes Streeting MP, to request his attention to this matter and to ask for reassurances that the unit will not be closed.

South Worple Way, East Sheen is closed outside13 to junction South Worple Avenue for sewer and surface water connections. Estimated completion date 29/09/2025. Contact: Crangy Construction Services LTD 01992 620 988.

Usual period of notice. And it looks like a long blockage!

The Centre Stage Festival arrives this Saturday (13 September), transforming George Street and Whittaker Avenue into a platform for creativity, community and contemporary culture. For one day only, the streets become a stage, canvas and playground, as Richmond town centre comes alive with music, theatre, food, art and joyful public participation.

To make the event possible, George Street will be temporarily closed and all bus routes will be redirected around the green, with other vehicles being diverted via the A316.

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
