This group was previously convened by Chizuko Katanaya, with a change necessitated by ill health.

The club meets at a large private residence and usually attracts about six players. The playing fee is $5 and some delicious snack food, coffee or tea, and wine are provided. The club maintains a small library of go books which may be borrowed by regulars. It seems to be a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, but the go games are just as intense as in the most important tournament.

I met some old campaigners – Shimada-san and Bao Nguyen were there, both of whom have played at AGA events in the past. James Kaaden is a young man with an interest in go administration as well as playing, and we will see more of him in the future.
