This is a placeholder for the weekend in mid-April when the Keio Old Boys will be visiting Brisbane for their annual shindig with the Brisbane Go Club. Dinner on Saturday evening, random go, lunch and the now-traditional team vs team match on Sunday. RSVP and/or query John Hardy at the club, if you’re in Brisbane at all and want to come play.

Fresh off the Perth mailing list: the Perth go players are holding a Beginners Session on Sunday afternoon. Like their last beginners session, this is also a regular playing meet up, so all strengths and ages of player are encouraged to turn up and play. The venue is 93 Circe Circle, Dalkeith, opposite the Dalkeith Primary School playing fields. Parking near the fields, or come by bus or train to nearby Clairemont Station, and they’ll pick you up. RSVP to the usual suspects, Clive Hunt or Peiran Guo.

Horatio and James and I looked at the joseki of the week variations.
