London May 2023 meeting will be on 21.05.2023

There will be a meeting of the London Shogi Club on Sunday 21.05.2023. We are hoping to hold these meetings monthly where possible, normally on the last Saturday or Sunday of the month. Always check to see if we are meeting, and which day we are meeting on.

This month we are not using the last weekend, because there are tournaments on that weekend, including the Heart of Wales Open.   

We  are currently playing in the basement room at Starbucks on Cowcross St, Farringdon. Do check downstairs, as you might not see anyone upstairs. There should be someone around from 11.00am until at least 2pm.

Everyone is very welcome, regardless of strength or experience.

The nearest tube station is Farringdon. Barbican station is also close. It's best to check which lines are running with Transport for London.

If you want to confirm attendance or have a question, feel free to let us know by

• leaving a comment here (google+, wordpress, LJ or similar online ID required)
• posting or commenting on the Shogi London facebook page; or
• sending an email.

More info about the Heart of Wales Open at the end of May 2023

As announced previously the Heart of Wales Open 2023 will be held over the late Bank Holiday at the Nant y Walch Barn, a couple of miles from Llanwrtyd Wells, Powys. 

The location is peaceful and beautiful, and can be reached by road or stopping at Llanwrtyd on the rural Heart of Wales rail line. Plus there will be shogi! It sounds great to me and I have booked my place.

Pretty full information is now available on the website for the venue at this page. It doesn't currently show the tournament entry fee, but this will be about £25. There is still some accommodation by the tournament venue and in Llanwrtyd Wells but if you have difficulty working things out I would advise you to contact the organiser by email to heart-of-wales-open-2023@gmx.info
