September 2008 event and meeting

There will be a shogi event on 13.09.2008 at the South Bank Centre [festival map] as part of the Thames Festival Japanese Jamboree. We will probably run a tournament between 12 and 5pm, and should also be able to discuss shogi or just chat. Just look for the shogi boards.

There will also be a regular Saturday meeting of the London Shogi Club on 27.09.2008. David Faldon will be around from 10am at Caffe Nero, 10 Bedford Street, London WC2E 7HE. [map]

Everyone is very welcome to both of these, regardless of strength or experience.

    Hi,

    Best regards,

  2. We didn't run a tournament, but played Shogi on tables around the central performance area of the Japanese Jamboree. We had information about shogi on a notice board and on the tables. Quite a few people asked about shogi. A number of them had a go at playing, and we let them know about our regular meetings and the Shogi London website. Otherwise it was more like a meeting of the London Club, except that we would occasionally stop to watch the Taiko drumming or the giant calligraphy.
