Post subject: | Running a real life study group |
I'm lucky enough to live in a city (Manchester, UK) with a decent number of fairly keen go players, and I'm currently in the process of trying to turn that fairly-keen-ness into a regular study group meet up. I wondered if anyone had any experience of starting an in-person study group, or even otherwise, if people could offer any advice? For example:
If anyone is interested to know more, we're curently trying to meet on Sundays at 11am in 'Chapter one books' in Manchester, however we're likely to start to meet more seriously in July as there are tournaments in the UK on most weekends of June. |

Our local club had a weekly study group for about half a year and it worked okay. There were a few minor problems, some of which were related to the fact that we piggybacked it on top of a regular group meeting. Activities included:
Issues we ran into:
To address a few of your questions:
In the end we kind of dissolved due to lack of sustained interest, and most people who were serious about continuing to study (including me) switched to studying with strong teachers (AYD in my case) and using club time mostly to play games and have fun. Good luck! |

Thanks both. That's really useful insight. Seems like I need to try to keep it a bit more formal and structured than we have been so far. |
