Twin Cities Go Club
The Twin Cities Go Club is a loosely knit group, gathering a few times week. Feel free to stop by if you live in Minnesota or find yourself in town. We have players from 30k to 5d who regularly come to the club, so you'll probably find a good game. Saturdays are usually the best-attended (10-20 people). Stay tuned for a possible new Thursday evening location (we would like to get a room at the University of Minnesota somewhere).
Our meeting times and locations:
Monday nights at Muddy Paws from about 1:00 to about 5:00 (2:00-5:00 are peak hours).
Sundays 2 pm to 10pm at Betsy's Back Porch in Minneapolis.
Monday nights at Muddy Paws from about 6:30 to 10:00
Tuesdays nights at Dunn Brother's at 43rd and Upton Ave in Minneapolis from about 6 to 10 pm.
Thursdays nights at Hard Times Cafe from 6:30 to 10pm or later (if you can convince your opponent to stay later!).
Typically Tuesday and Saturday have the most reliable turnout, with Saturday having the strongest players (though beginners are always welcome!).
Additionally James Kerwin hosts go workshops out of his home about once a month - check out our homepage for more information.

2007 Minnesota Tournament
Sunday, June 17. Tentative plans: Location: Goodrich Golf Course (same as 2005) 1820 Van Dyke St Saint Paul, MN 55109-3709 (651) 748-2525
Entry fee ~$5 (free for beginners entering as 30k--bring your friends!). Four rounds: 30 minutes + 5x1:00 byo-yomi. Structure: Open division for dan players who wish to compete for #1; other games will use reduced handicaps. PLEASE HAVE A RANK SO WE CAN GIVE YOU GOOD GAMES. Snacks, pizza, beer, wine, etc. all available for purchase, fast food nearby. Please bring boards, stones, and clocks.
This place is a great venue, and everyone had fun in 2005. We expect to have players from 30k to 5d, so you'll be sure to have interesting games. The low entry fee is due to the generosity of the people at Goodrich, so be sure to thank them for hosting the tournament.
I hope to see you there!
