Tournament (and no club meeting) in October 2024

This is to remind people that there will be no London Shogi club in October, but there will be a 2 day tournament. 

The British Open Shogi Championships tournament is on the weekend of 26-27 October 2024. The tournament is open to players of all abilities and of all nationalities.

It will be held at the London Mindsports Centre. The nearest tube station is Ravenscourt Park. The two Hammersmith stations are a bit further away.  It takes 30-50 minutes to get to the venue from the main London railway stations, and 40 minutes from Heathrow airport.  

You can register for the tournament on this dedicated tournament page, which is being updated with further information as we get nearer to the tournament date.
