Autumn Update

Posted on 2007-09-04 by John

Didn’t mean to leave it go a whole season between updates…

Looks like this month will see the return of a little activity to the local Go scene. Current meeting schedules are uncertain; will try to have an update on those for the weekend.

Some may recall an American player who visited during the summer last year. Rob has finally documented his round-Ireland Go tour.

Next month will see a new tournament in Belfast – the imaginatively named Belfast Go Tournament 2007. Interested players should pre-register to avoid disappointment.

In case anyone missed it, details of the 2008 Irish Go Congress are up on the IGA site.

Summer Update

Posted on 2007-06-24 by John

Although there hasn’t been any post here for a while now, it’s not that there hasn’t been any activity locally. There have been occasional meetings in Cobh and play continues fairly regularly in Cork. I’ve just not been following play there as closely as someone who’s supposed to be letting others know what’s happening should. (Personal rambling kept to my own blog.) Things always lose cohesion slightly during the summer, with people being preoccupied by exams, vacations, etc. The Yahoo group continues to be the best method to get in touch with other members anyway; this site is more useful for allowing new players in Cork to find us. I will try to make time to catch up on the various forums and such that are linked this week. Expect another update when you see it…

Cobh session Tuesday

Posted on 2007-03-18 by John

For any players in the Cobh area, there will be a meeting this tuesday. Time and venue to be confirmed, but likely around 20:00 either in Cobh or out past Ballymore. The plan is to try out this time for 2-3 weeks and if people turn up, continue on a permanent basis.

If you ever wondered what the connection between DGS and Little Golem was, there is an interesting bit of Go trivia provided by the now defunct Turn-based Go Guild.

site updates

Posted on 2007-03-13 by John

There have been a few minor edits to the site; most notably the FAQ, which now actually has some content, but the observant reader will also have spotted a few new links in the side-bar. Still more updates due, so if there’s something you’d like to see here, or that you think should be changed or moved, feel free to post a comment.
