Hi everybody,

If there's anybody in the Midwest region who'd like to play some go, I'd like to inform you that this chapter is up and running with a pretty regular crowd of 7-10 people from beginner to dan. Also, we're hoping for a great turnout for our upcoming All-Iowa Go tournament. These are bi-annual and both dates have already been established for both. We hope to see players from as far away as Chicago and hopefully Kansas. Please use the information below and be sure to register online at our website if you plan to come!
