With full rhythms slowly returning to our new normal, I’m wanting to rekindle our regular Go sessions on USQ Toowoomba campus with the aim of supporting/building numbers of regular players.
I am going to propose Thursday lunchtime 12.30–1.30 pm in the Refectory (R-block) USQ Toowoomba campus. If there is better interest for another time/day we will shift to that time slot, so do let me know either directly or in the comments.
The first major event on the Queensland Go calendar is the State Championships, set for the weekend of 5–6 February in Brisbane, with the handicapped division running Saturday and open division on Sunday. The QGS AGM will be run during lunch on Saturday.
Cost is $30/25 (full/concession) with a $5 early bird discount if you register before 30 January. This price includes full financial membership of the Queensland Go Society. The tournament will be using a Japanese rule set Horatio Davis (Horatio@go.org.au 0466 983 474) is the tournament director and can answer any specific questions you may have.
The second event we are working towards in the inaugural Toowoomba Tsubaki Taikai (Toowoomba Camellia Competition), to be held on a yet to be confirmed weekend day in September and tied in with Toowoomba’s Carnival of Flowers. It gives everyone plenty of time to practice and brush up their skills!
I hope to see a few of you on Thursdays!
