Milwaukee Go Club announcements: regular meeting Sat, classes Sun, workshop/tournament/festival summer

A couple of announcements:

1) This Saturday at 7:00 is our regularly scheduled meeting.  See you there!

2) A note to consider: There are go lessons offered on Sunday afternoons at 4:00.
You can sign up at mmcsweb.com or e-mail here for more info or help in signing up. 

3) Anyone who signs up as a member of the American Go Association gets to
have official ratings, and weekly go-related e-mail notices.  Please consider it. 

4) We are thinking of having a go tournament (for dan level players) / workshop (for kyu level players) / festival (for newcomers) this summer.
Can I assume you'd all be interested in participating?  Anyone interested in helping? 
Do people have a preference as to whether it takes place in mid-late June or late August? 
or as part of a Chinese festival July 23-24?  I think we'd get less big names from Chicago+Madison
if it's in July, since the annual Go Congress takes place soon thereafter in Santa Barbara, California. 
There's some time urgency on the scheduling, so please reply within the next few days
what your thoughts are. 

Thanks!

go club is on for this weekend

Looking forward to a great turnout at the go club on Saturday. 
Starting time is 7pm and we can play until whenever the mall closes.

Is anyone interested in playing in Madison during the day on Sat. April 30? 
I'm trying to gauge interest. 

see you this saturday at GO club!

See you at Bayshore near Board Game Barrister this Saturday 7pm, now featuring our own relatively-easy-to-spot banner.

There's a good friendly tournament in IL on 3/5.  Stop by or e-mail for more info. 
That's also the same day that the Ing Foundation GO School Teams Tournament takes place. 

Go Club meets this Saturday 7pm

Happy lucky go friends in the year of the rabbit,

There was a great turnout at the Domes and we ran out of the 20 brochures that we brought.
I should have brought more brochures, and a real camera, because it was fantastic.
Thanks to Wenbin, Isabel, and everyone who participated. 

We also now have a banner stand and a banner to go with it!

Anyway, the club meets to play this Saturday at 7, at Bayshore in the vicinity of Board Game Barrister. 
E-mail if you have questions.  And whoever is planning to come, would you let me know?

still looking for someone to demo on Sat 11:45-12:45

Hi, we have one person who can help with the kids' go demo at the Mitchell Park Domes this Saturday 1/29, but we still need someone to help with the adult demo 11:45-12:45.  You'll get not only the chance to build the go community in Milwaukee (more people to play with), but you'll also get a free ticket to the event.  Here's the web page: http://www.milwaukeechinese.org/modules.php?name=CNY2011Domes.

We've had a wonderful influx of new and returning members since the beginning of 2011.  Great to see you all!

Yes, GO club is meeting tonight 7-9+pm

It was great seeing some new faces last time. 
Looking forward to seeing everyone again tonight.

Also -- the Milwaukee Art Museum's Summer of China programming this summer may involve a big GO event.  We'll need a big crowd of go players to show up, including from out of town.  I think it will be a tournament for RATED players and informal lessons for unrated players.

The Milwaukee GO Club will be on hiatus for the holidays and will resume in 2011 on Saturday January 22. See you then, or at go events in IL (e-mail milwaukeego@gmail.com for more info), and until then have a great Christmas, belated Chanukah, Kwanzaa, solstice, New Year, vacation days off, and every other celebration you might have between now and then.

Go Club resumes in January

The meeting Saturday evening 12/11 is cancelled due to the weather.
Have a great Christmas and see you all in January!

2nd and 4th Saturdays

Go players of all levels, please consider signing up for igolocal.net. See http://igolocal.net/about.php for more information. In their words:

Igolocal.net is a Local social networking and community building tool, specifically for Go players. More than this, it is a Go server for the physical world.
Its stated goal: to support existing local Go communities and create ones where none now exist.
Our premise: that for each Go player you know in your home town, there are 5 more that you don't know about.
Our mission: to connect Go players locally, get them off the computer and out into the sunshine.

In any case, the Milwaukee Go Club meets at 7pm this Saturday at Bayshore.

Normal meeting times are on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month, outside the Board Game Barrister store at Bayshore Mall near the Rotunda where performances are held.
Since the 4th Saturday this month is Christmas, that meeting will be cancelled.

A tournament earlier in the day this Saturday:
December 11: Chicago, IL (Arlington Heights
