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.

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:
