| Game Review Service | Association members are reminded of a benefit that few have taken up recently, perhaps in part because it was low down the website tree. The Game Review Service can be a very efficient way of improving your game as comments are tailored to the individual's strengths and weaknesses. So why don't you send in a game today? |

| AGM on Saturday | You are reminded that the BGA's AGM is on Saturday evening (1st March), at the British Go Congress in Bognor Regis, starting at 19:30. If you have not registered for the British Go Congress or EYGC and wish to attend please email eygc @ britgo.org, otherwise you will have to pay Butlin's day fee to enter the site. |

| AGM minutes | We'd like to apologise for the excessive delay, but the minutes of the 2013 AGM are now finally available online, via the Members Area. |
|
| New Tournament Registration System | Thanks to John Collins we now have a new system to handle online Registration for our Tournaments. This does not handle any payments, but allows anyone to enter a tournament using a simple online form, provide an ICS calendar entry and also look at the list of publicly available entrants. This system is available as a free service to any Tournament Organiser who is a BGA member. |
