University College Cork (UCC) will host it’s 4th open tournament on December 4th and 5th. More details here.
The IGA has posted provisional details for this year’s two-day Belfast Open, taking place on the 25-26th of September.
The Cork Go Club has moved its weekly meetings to the Idle Hour pub on Albert Quay in the Cork docklands area. Meetings will occur every Tuesday night at 8:30pm. The venue is also used by the Cork Chess Club for blitz games so everyone can enjoy playing Go, Chess and Chinese Chess.
The Idle Hour is located here.
In an effort to increase exposure for Go here in Cork, Stephan has set up a group for the Cork Go Club over on facebook. Hopefully it will help local players to keep in touch, as well as potentially making new or inactive players aware that there are others nearby interested in the game.
Any ideas for the promotion of Go locally are always welcomed for discussion.
UCC’s third go tournament wrapped up yesterday. A total of 18 players traversed the windswept, nigh-deserted campus and endured single-digit temperatures to participate over the weekend.
The IGA have published a brief write-up of the two-day event, as well as the results.
*** The UCC Go Club has updated the tournament page with a write-up, results, and a link to some pictures ***
Unable to wait a full year, the annual tournament in UCC has been brought forward a few months. The five-round event will take place on Sat 28th & Sun 29th November.
