cryuff court official opening - saturday 24th july 2021
WHERE: FRASER HOUSE, GREEN DRAGON LANE, BRENTFORD, TW8 0DA
Time: 10:00 am - 4:00pm
Whether you think you're a football magician or you can teach us a thing or two, or just like sitting on the side-lines watching a fun match then join us on the Cruyff Court. The Court will be officially opened at 11.30am followed by a football tournament organised by Brentford Football Club Sports Community Trust with teams involving men, women, kids and maybe even the odd council member! The day will also have various fun activities such as face painting, arts & crafts, a DJ and a Brentford Towers Talent Show. Letters detailing the event is in the process of being sent out to all residents and it will include information on how you can participate in the Talent Show. Flyers detailing the event will also be posted on the electronic noticeboards in each house so watch out for those too.
Special Guests from Brentford FC, Marcus Gayle and the Johan Cruyff Foundation are expected to attend and there will be free food and drink available on the day. There will be other activities and events going on all day, formore details see the itinerary below.
After 16 months of lockdown with restrictions on movement, particularly on outdoor activities, this is a perfect opportunity for residents - particularly the young, vulnerable and isolated - to get outside, enjoy some sports in the fresh air, exercise, get physical, meet with other residents and members of the community. The Brentford Cryuff Court is a wonderful addition to the estate - one of over 200 hundred around the world - and is there to be enjoyed by all so we hope you will see this as a celebration of that and join in and last but certainly not the least, the event is FREE TO ALL so C'MON!!
Start the summer off with a free, fun day with your children friends and fellow neighbours, we look forward seeing you on the court, and remember; Stay Safe and give others plenty of space.

Brentford Football Club promoted to Premier League
Congratulations Brentford Football Club "The Bees" on reaching the Premier League. It was a well deserved win for the team and to take a quote from the Independent Newspaper "Brentford climbed back to the top flight of English football for the first time in 74 years, building up from humble beginnings to become the 50th club to grace the Premier League". I think the word here is humble, because we are all proud of the way you have kept the faith, remained true to the cause and graced the game with professionalism, determination and dedication; a fitting example to us all of what can be achieved no matter the odds. You did it in style and in glorious sunshine. You have made all of Brentford proud and if you think you could have had a quiet homecoming, well, think again; well done!
