History

The Cork Club first met in late 2003. Over the next few years, attendance slowly increased to about a dozen irregular members who met in Cork and Cobh.

Activity increased dramatically in 2006, during which the club was lucky enough to have been joined or visited by several mid-level amateur players from the USA, Poland and France.

Early 2007 saw a regular turnout at weekly meetings, but Go locally took a big step forward when one player managed to get a regular club running in UCC late that year.

In january 2008, the UCC Club ran Cork’s first ever go tournament. The one-day event drew a total of 18 participants.
