Saturday Go - Beginners Welcome!
Live Event - Cambridge Public Library
September 30

This is a weekly Go meetup hosted by the Massachusetts Go Association, meeting weekly at the Cambridge public library.

We have regular attendance, typically somewhere between 4 and 20 players with a wide variety of strengths.

We usually set up on the ground floor seating area next to the stairs, immediately to the right of the main entrance.

There usually is no shortage of boards and go equipment, but bringing a set is appreciated, if you have one.

We always welcome beginners and new players, and will be happy to teach any newcomers how to play if they so wish :)
