*Please circulate the message below asap (it refers to the Cheltenham
Tournament this weekend), using the Newsletter mailing list. *

*Cheltenham Go Tournament*

Regrettably the Cheltenham Go Tournament due to take place on this coming
Saturday, June 4, has been cancelled: a train strike and a crowded calendar
has meant that there are insufficient entries to make a good tournament.

*Iwamoto Europe Foundation*

The IEF was set up with proceeds from the sale of the European Go Cultural
Centre in Amsterdam, and has the objective of:
1. in the spirit of the deceased sensei Iwamoto Kaoru, to promote mind
sport go in Europe and furthermore to do everything directly or indirectly
related thereto or that can be conducive thereto, all in the broadest sense
of the words.

2. It aims to achieve this objective *inter alia* by means of: the
promotion and financial support of projects that have the objective of
promoting go as a grassroots sport in Europe and/or promoting go as a Mind
Sport for young people.

It has 6 Directors: the EGF President and 2 members elected by the EGF
members, plus 3 from the Nihon Ki-in.
In 2021 Gerry Gavigan (UK) and Dominique Cornuejols (F)  were elected for a
period of 4 years, but Dominique has now resigned, and the EGF is looking
for a replacement. If anyone is interested in standing please contact the
BGA Secretary (secretary at britgo.org) *before June 8.*

Toby Manning, President.
