I'll start this page soon, thanks for the skeleton RueLue

What is the sense of this page?

The page shall collect organising help and hints from and for young folks, who want to organise their own club, help players improve at their Go and give information about Youth Go around the world.

Who is a junior go player?

Usually, a junior go player is anyone under 18.

Discussion, Q&A

sjd123: There doesn't seem to be much on this website about Youth Go in Britain, or anywhere else in the world. I'm going to do a page on it now...

RueLue: Just begin with the skeleton, the rest comes itself.

sjd123: Thanks RueLue, you got it right. I'll start to build on it now.

[sjd123[: Wow, this page is really pointless
