There will be a meeting this Sunday (the 4th) from about 12:30 to 4:30 at the Barnes & Noble in Fort Myers on 41 near Daniels. Since we’re not getting a lot of people on Monday we’re going to try a weekend time to see if we can get attendance up a bit. Both meeting times will continue for a while still.
Be there or be square!
Not a lot of people have been able to attend the Monday evening meetings so we’re considering adding a weekend meeting time. The time being considered is Sunday afternoon from 12:30 to 4:30 (approximately). Roughly the first hour would be set aside for discussion, chatting, game reviews, etc. and the serious games would start about 1:30.
We’re also thinking of having club games in a tournament format so that we could get in more games against more different opponents during each meeting. We’d set up the tournaments in such a way that you could still join in if you weren’t able to arrive right at the start, or you could step out easily if you had to leave early. For each game you play you’d earn a point, and you’d earn an extra point for each game you win. There will be some sort of prize for the point leaders at the end of the year (or season or whatever).
For a location we’re considering something more centrally located. Suggestions have included the Books-a-Million or Barnes & Noble on 41, or the Books-a-Million on Colonial near I-75.
As usual, we’re looking for feedback. This is your club!
The new meeting night has been decided. It seems like quite a few people had conflicts with Wednesday night, so the new meetings will be Monday nights at Borders, Gulf Coast Town Center from 5:30pm to 8:45pm starting September 14th. Of course, the start and end times are pretty casual. Games are starting and ending all the time, so don’t worry if you can’t arrive until later or if you can’t stay for the whole meeting. For those who can’t make the Monday night meetings, there are still the Tuesday night meetings at Cape Coral Library.
Hope to see ya there!
Go is an old game. Here’s an old Go game.
It was played c. 280 AD. That’s not a typo. The game record is incomplete, but what’s striking is the similarity to our game of Go more than 1700 years later.
