There will be no official meeting of the London Shogi Club in December as Saturday 26th is a public holiday.
However, it's always possible that players may arrange to meet up in the gap between Boxing Day and New Year.
If people are doing this it might be a good idea to put a comment on our Facebook page to let people know.
Information on the London Shogi Club, shogi events in or near London, and occasional other stuff. Shogi is Japanese chess, and the key way it differs from regular chess is that when you take your opponent pieces, you keep them, and can 'drop' them back on the board later. It's pretty popular in Japan so you often see it in anime and Japanese art, but it's not very well known in the UK.

At the moment there are no plans for a December meeting - most players will be busy or away during the holiday break. Caffe Nero is also very crowded during the Christmas season. But if players are interested, let us know and we'll see if we can arrange something.
