Bristol and Bath Go Clubs are pleased to announce that the 39th Wessex Go Tournament will be held at:

St Mark's Community Centre
St Mark's Rd
Bath BA2 4PA

on Sunday 26th October 2008. As usual, this is the day that the clocks go back.

To reach Bath from the M4 leave at Exit 18 and follow directions to Bath. Parking at the Hall is limited to 6 or 7 cars but since residential parking does not apply on Sunday there should be sufficient parking in nearby streets. Carlton Gardens, just above the Hall is probably the best bet. There is a handy footpath down to the Hall. (not shown on the Google map below, but marked on the map in the PDF).

Bath Train Station is a just a few minutes walk from the hall.

This is a three round, even game competition, with 60 minutes each on the clock. Overtime will be 30 stones in the first 5 minutes and 60 stones in each subsequent 5 minute period. Prizes will be awarded to the players with the highest number of wins. The overall winner will receive the Wessex Trophy. A team prize will also be awarded (teams of 4 to 7 members).

Bath is one of fewer than 900 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and too nice a place to come and only spend a day glued to the Go board. If you take advantage of the tournament to explore for a few days, you will be very welcome to visit Bath Go Club on Tuesday evening.
