Upcoming Event for New Go Players
Richmond Baduk Club started via this subreddit a few months ago. We meet every Wednesday evening at the VMFA at 5:30.
We will be holding a casual tournament for new players on July 15th in the VMFA Cafe.
If you’ve ever had an interest in learning Go/Baduk/Weiqi, you should definitely come! I recommend attending the regular meetup this Wednesday July 8th to get your feet wet or at least learning the rules beforehand. (Go Magic Tutorial Video)

Would love to welcome some new players to our little club!
