Local: The Beginnings of a New Weiqi / Go Club at Wesleyan University?
Yesterday we experimented with extending the reach of Central Connecticut Go Club onto the Wesleyan campus in Middletown, CT. The first meeting was a great success. The Chinese Cultural Club graciously hosted the meeting at the Usdan Student Center. The Center is a perfect setting to meet. Once we set up some boards, it didn’t take long for the lessons for beginners to commence. Players of varioius playing strengths joined in and played some games as well. The interest seems solid. Based on last nights success, it looks like we are going to try to make it a regular Friday night gig.
We will start to do some real promotional advertising on campus soon. Since the semester is winding down, the summer will give us an opportunity to organize. Lack of equipment is an inconvenience at this point. If anyone knows how to get Ing sets from the AGA/AGF, please let me know.
EMAIL me if you are interested: m i k e s p a n e r @ y a h o o . c o m (remove spaces) and I will get you on the mailing list. Please let me know if you are a Wesleyan student and we’ll hook you up with the Chinese Cultural Club listserv as well.
