After months of uncertainty, the Municipality of The Hague has given the go-a-head to start up the long awaited Community and activity centre The Hungry Mind, to be housed behind the International School of The Hague at Sportspark Ockenburgh at Wijndaelerduin 9.

The clubhouse of former football club TEXAS/DZS will be empty from 1 July.

A big job is waiting to be done over the summer period to give the clubhouse a new identity: blitzed and painted. The goal is to open the community and activity centre the first week after the summer holidays.

From 16-27 August the clubhouse will be open for all. You will be able to get information, register for activities and have a chat and a good cup of coffee and a treat. Just come and see for yourself in August.

If you are available and willing to help do up the clubhouse during the summer, or if you would like to get involved with the organisation and daily running of the clubhouse and/or activity schedule, please get in touch with me by sending an email to: thehungrymindcentre@gmail.com or call Petra on 06-30494880.

If you would like to organise an activity, before, during or after school (e.g. language classes/yoga/sports activities/craft sessions/mums and todds group/lectures/cookery classes to name a few), be in touch using the details above.

The Hungry Mind would like to exted their sincere thanks in advance for your support and patience.

**On Tuesday 29 June (14.00-16.00) and Wednesday 30 June (12.00-16.00) the clubhouse will be open for all! A drink, a snack and information will be available: - all are welcome! See flyer below.
