History
of Higashikita Go Club
Our
club borns in summer 2004 when small Go clubs from various areas of
Friuli-Venezia Giulia (such as Trieste, Cormons, Udine and Ragogna)
begin to gather in Udine and, later, in Cormons.
Before
Summer 2004, everybody used to play only in his own city, in very small
groups of players. However, somebody had already played in some
tournaments
in Italy or Slovenia.
The
meetings in Cormons then continued monthly, and it was during one of
them that the name of the Go club, "Higashikita" (meaning just north –
east, the location of our area in Italy), was decided.
In
the following months other players joint our meetings, and more and
more of us started playing in tournaments in italy or neighbour
countries.
In
2005 we are going to start the organization part as well, demostrations
of the game of Go are going to take place in some abstract games
meetings, tournaments will be organized and we are also thinking about
creating a team for the italian team championship.
