Melbourne Go Club
The Melbourne Go Club -- in Victoria, Australia -- is a member of the Australian Go Association.
We meet every Tuesday night at 6:30pm at Almazett Lebanese restaurant, 210 Balaclava Road Caulfield North (Melway ref. 59 A12, see below for more directions). When you arrive, just tell the waiters/owners that you're here to play Go!
The club president is Brad Melki - bmelki@hotkey.net.au.
The Melbourne Go Club organises and hosts the annual NEC Cup, a popular Australasian Go tournament sponsored by NEC Australia. There's a cool report of the 2002 NEC Cup at http://bignose.squidly.org/writings/nec2002-report.txt.
