The Brisbane Go Club - in Queensland, Australia - is a member of the
Australian Go Association.
Members meet every Tuesday evening from 6.30pm until late at The Pancake Manor Restaurant, 18 Charlotte St, Brisbane (near the corner of George St). The Club has been meeting at this venue for over 25 years. Meetings for beginners are sometimes held on Wednesday evenings at the Queensland Contract Bridge Club, 67 Ipswich Rd Woolloongabba. Informal tournaments are occasionally held and monthly prizes based on Club night results are awarded. Newcomers are welcomed and beginners are offered lessons. Members range in strength from beginner to 6dan with many around 1dan.
The Club organises the Queensland Go Championship each year (17-18 February in 2007). The Toyota Denso Cup is a biannual tournament also organised by the Club, first held in Brisbane in 2002, followed by successful events in January 2004 and January 2006. Last year the Club hosted the Australian Championships (30 September - 1 October 2006).
