*NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS*

1) MEETING TIMES CLARIFICATION
We continue to meet THURSDAYS and SATURDAYS every week.  Thursday sessions are regular playing sessions, and we basically meet for games.  Saturday sessions are study sessions where we get together to do some problems and other fun stuff.  Thursdays we play at the Hopkins Center Cafe in Hanover (next to the Hood Museum Shop) from 2pm to 8pm (just drop by within that time slot).  Most Saturdays we play at the Hopkins Center Cafe from 2pm to 5pm.  On the second Saturday of every month (which includes TOMORROW), we play at Borders Cafe inside Borders Bookstore at 285 Plainfield Road, West Lebanon from 2pm to 5pm.

2) GO MEET-UP THIS SATURDAY
On the second Saturday every month, we meet at Borders as part of community outreach and to get more members to participate in our club.  The session tomorrow will be from 2pm to 5pm.  If you need a ride from Hanover, there will be a pickup from the front of the Hopkins Center at 1.30pm near the parking meters.  See everyone there!

3) REGULAR SATURDAY STUDY SESSIONS
It has been observed that turnout has been unpredictable to these sessions and they occasionally get cancelled.  Just to clarify, if you do not receive an e-mail confirmation (either a newsletter or a separate confirmation) on the Friday before a Saturday session, it means the session is cancelled.  If you do receive an e-mail reminder, do come and study some go!

4) GO OUTDOORS
Playing go outdoors was a success.  We took a short walk to Boston Lot Lake and played go in the sun for a few hours.  Was quite swell!  See the new pics on our website.  http://www.feustel.us/GO/

5) MASSACHUSETTS GO ASSOCIATION FALL HANDICAP TOURNAMENT
The MGA Fall Tournament is coming up on October 8th 2006.  Mark your calendars, our club will send a contingent down, same as usual.  Details at:http://www.massgo.org/tournaments.html

6) GUO JUAN 5P COLUMBUS DAY WORKSHOP
Conflicting with the MGA tournament, same as usual, is the Guo Juan Go Workshop at the Woodlands from the 6th to 9th of October.  Some members are likely to participate.
