Brimbank residents gathered to strategise, problem-solve and keep cool under pressure in a battle of the boards chess event on Thursday, September 4.
But it wasn’t all queen’s gambits and checkmates — locals were also invited to meet new people and share in the enjoyment of learning new skills.
The event was part of council’s Brimbank Men’s Health Project, which places focus on improving men’s physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
