It's almost May long weekend, and that means it's time for Otafest 2010. We will once again be hosting a Go room at the festival to play some games and teach newcomers.
Whether you know how to play or not, feel free to drop by the Go rooms. You can either learn to play, or help teach, or both!
The Go room will be active at:
| Date | Start Time | End time | Room |
|---|
| Saturday, May 22 | 14:30 | 18:30 | ST 147 | | Sunday, May 23 | 12:00 | 15:30 | ST 145 |
If you get lost, call me (Steve) at 403-614-6159. There will be a lot of things going on at Otafest, so you can come check out the other events too!

This is a reminder to everyone that the club is moving! Don't worry, it's not far from the old location at Dragon City. The address above has been updated with the new location, and is effective as of the next meeting on Dec 20. The meeting time has not changed.
See you all at the new location! We should find ourselves with more space and storage to use.
