This page shows our printed promotional booklets, leaflets and other items. Most are available in electronic form, with
printed material normally available free to Association volunteers doing outreach.
In other cases we may request a payment to cover our costs. If in doubt, ask our Secretary or President. We will look favourably on requests that help achieve our aims: “to promote interest in and the playing of the game of Go”.
Current stocks and stock holders can be seen here (restricted access). To obtain any of the items contact the stock holders directly or via our Secretary. BGA officers may also bring some stock to the tournaments they attend.
