The stones kept slipping, so it was very hard to play where you wanted to. It was held at last year's European Go Congress. Each game the players had to drink a large mug of beer. If there was any left, you were disqualified. The time allowance was 30 minutes with no byo-yomi.

Each club makes its own goods with their logos and all the members wear the same outfits. These are freebies given away with books, and you can't buy them separately. Actually I'm a collector of go T-shirts. I have about 20 and I wear them in rotation. They attract attention and people often ask me about them in the street.
