[Newsletter] BGA Newsletter No. 257 August 2019

[Jil Segerman]

FROM THE EDITOR

Contributions are always welcome, both from our members and others. We ask
that they be Go-related and “newsy". The place for debate and general
discussion is currently Gotalk <http://www.britgo.org/gopcres/info#gotalk>;
however, an introduction to a new topic is fine in the Newsletter.
*Instructions:* Please use plain text not file-attachments. Keep it brief,
and give web-links and contact details. It's good to include pictures. If
they are on the internet, send me the URL. If not, attach the picture files
to your email. Send your contribution to newsletter at britgo.org to arrive by
the first day of the month.

Cheadle Hulme Girl (18k) wins at the European

Congratulations to Lizzy Pollitt (facing the camera) from Cheadle Hulme
School, for winning Group E of the Pair Go tournament at the annual 2-week
European Go Congress, in Brussels this year. Partnering her is a 2 dan from
China, Li Feng. They won 5 out of their 6 games, including the final.

It's been a successful week for Lizzy, on her debut EGC, as she also won 3
of her 4 games in the Main tournament and 4 out of 5 in the weekend
tournament.

Wanted - Memories from past Wessex Tournaments

In October it is the 50th anniversary Wessex tournament – quite a landmark.
As such it would be good to see if we can do anything to illustrate the
history of the tournament.

If anyone has any memories or old photos that they want to share please let
me know, and if we get enough we will create a display for during the
tournament. Please send anything you have to me by e-mail at Colin_Williams
(at) blueyonder.co.uk If you have photos or anything from before the
digital age and don’t want to scan them please let me know and we’ll work
out what to do about it – possibly just bring them on the day (as I’m sure
you will be coming ...)
Stevenage - change of venue

Please note that the Stevenage (North Herts) Go Club has moved. They now
meet at The Standard Bearer (Wetherspoons pub) in Stevenage town centre on
Tuesday evenings. Full details here <http://www.britgo.org/club/stevenage>.
Please note also that due to licensing restrictions at the new venue they
are regrettably no longer able to welcome under-18s, whether or not
accompanied.
