UoY Go Society Christmas Dinner 2021 Announced

~ yorkgosociety ~ Leave a comment

Every year we organise a Go Society Christmas Dinner. This is one of the highlights of the year, as it is a nice chance to socialise outside of the usual Go playing sessions, we have a lovely meal, and we stay to play Go afterwards. So, we are very pleased to invite all society members to this year’s event, the detail of which are as follows:

  • When: the evening of Monday 13th December, time to be confirmed but probably around 6:30 p.m.
  • Where: Ippuku Tea House, 15 Blake St, York YO1 8QJ (subject to booking) – a Japanese style Tea House in York, serving Japanese food, tea and drink.

All society members are invited and you are welcome to bring wives and girlfriends, husbands and boyfriends, children, flatmates, friends, etc. – please just let us know who is coming so we can book accordingly. If you would like to attend, please let us know by emailing gosociety@yusu.org


We look forward to seeing you for our society Christmas Dinner!

The Go Society Library is now open

~ yorkgosociety ~ Leave a comment

We are pleased to announce that our society’s library of Go books is now open. The list of books is here: https://tinyurl.com/uoy-go-society-library
The system for borrowing books is as follows:

  • To borrow a book, please email us (gosociety@yusu.org) and we will arrange collection of the book, e.g. at the next in-person session
  • Loans are for 4 weeks
  • Members may only borrow one book at a time
  • The loan will be confirmed with an email from us
  • You will also receive a reminder email one week before the book is due for return
  • Members may request a book that is currently on loan by emailing us. In that case, you will be added to a waiting list so that you are the next person to borrow the book after it is returned.
  • Members may borrow the same book again for a further 4 weeks so long as there is no one on the waiting list
  • We trust you to return the books on time, so the unlikely scenario of overdue books will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis

In addition to the paper books available via the system above, we have also collated a list of eBooks that are freely available online. You will find details of these with links on the second sheet in the above spreadsheet. Members are free to download any and all of these eBooks, more than one book per person and more than one person per book, no arrangement with us necessary, and no return date.
Further information (reviews, etc.) about most of the books in the list can be found here: https://www.gobooks.info/bib-subject.html and here: https://senseis.xmp.net/?GoBooks

So that’s it – we hope you enjoy reading the books in our library! If you have any comments or questions, or if you want to borrow a book, please send us an email.

The University of York Go Society website is back!

~ yorkgosociety ~ Leave a comment

After a long hiatus, we are getting this site up and running again. I’m still working out how to update pages so I will post our up-to-date meeting times at the end of this post.

But first, a report on our in-person session that was held earlier today. We had a very nice Go Society Session today at lunchtime. Some players were short on time or new to the game so they played on a 13×13 board. There was also a 19×19 game with a big endgame KO fight. Plus some online activity. It certainly seemed like everyone had fun. We look forward to seeing you again soon 🙂

Our current meeting times are Tuesdays 12:00-14:00 and Thursdays 19:00-21:00. One session a week is in-person and online, the other is online only. We alternate the in-person session between the Tuesday and Thursday each week. This week’s in-person was today, Tuesday, so the next in-person session is next Thursday (11th November 2021) 19:00-21:00, location to be decided. Due to committee availability, there is no official session this Thursday (4th November) but members can still meet online to play and chat anyway. The next official online session is next Tuesday (9th November) 12:00-14:00. We play on OGS (https://online-go.com/groups/1814) and we have a video chat on https://meet.jit.si/uoy_go_society – we look forward to playing with you soon.
