During a visit to the Camp Street Prison on Wednesday, President of the GCF James Bond met inmates and senior prison authorities. The intent of the visit was to formulate plans for the establishment of a chess club for inmates which would be affiliated to the GCF. The ensuing discussions among the parties were amiable and promised something for each of those involved. Posing for a photo at the conclusion of the visit are from left: Frankie Farley, vice-president of the GCF; Anthony Drayton, committee member of the GCF; N Elliot, senior superintendent of prisons; James Bond and K Hale, a cadet officer at the prison.
With the sounds of everyday reality ringing familiarly in his ears outside its walls, President of the Guyana Chess Federation (GCF) James Bond paid a visit to the Camp Street Prison on Wednesday, supporting the idea of concretizing a chess club for inmates. Bond, who preferred to refer to the prison as a holding centre, answered a benevolent call from authorities to make chess available to those who desire it. The visit resulted, uncannily, from a chess competition
