Manchester Go Club

Welcome to the home page of Manchester Go Club. We exist to play and promote the game of Go, the ancient board game from the Far East, known also as igo (in Japan), weiqi (in China) or baduk (in Korea).

We are proud of our long club history - our main annual tournament has been running since 1975. We meet on various days of the week, at different venues. See latest details
or checkout our Facebook page.

All with an interest in Go are very welcome to come along and join us, without the slightest obligation. Learn the game from us, or try your ability against an experienced player.

Here is a link to a YouTube video of some of the members at the club, made by Mrs Yuko Howes.

At present there is no membership fee, but members are invited to take a look at the British Go Association (BGA), to which Manchester Go Club is affiliated, and join the BGA if you like us & what you see.

The nearest Go clubs to Manchester - apart from us of course! - are those at Liverpool and Chester. For current details of these and others, click to see a national map and classified listings.

The club organises at least one annual tournament, the "Northern", in the autumn. From 2016, this has been held at Cheadle Hulme School, and here is the tournament page with links to the results.

Please see the tournament listings for other BGA tournaments.
