Thanks to Jay, those of us on the mail list know about the new gaming store in Avalon Park, Paladin Tech & Games. I’ve been there and they have a room in the back for gaming, and as long as they aren’t using it for something else, they seem to be happy for people to… Continue reading New gaming store in Avalon Park
Josh has settled the dates of the 2009 Orlando Go Tournament in May 9-10. More information here.
The AGA event calendar lists that there will be a two-day tournament in Sarasota next month. I emailed Lanny Searcy, the tournament director, who responded right away.

He doesn’t want to give up our weekly Go Orlando meeting at Barnes & Noble, but add a second meeting. That way members could… Continue reading Voting on when to meet

It occurred to me that it might be helpful to mention a few resources to those new to the game of Go.… Continue reading New semester, new members?

I suppose quarterly and semi-annual statistical reports make the most sense in general. (Or, perhaps, no reports… Continue reading Statistics update
I have upgraded the underlying CMS for the website (which is WordPress) to the latest version. This shouldn’t affect much about the site to the readers, but it fixes several under-the-hood problems.
