Fun at Youth Go Camp

The seventh annual youth camp was attended by only 8 players (a couple more wanted to come but one withdrew and one entered too late); they ranged from 29 kyu to 7 kyu, 9 years to 15 years old and travelled from as far as Edinburgh to take part. Again the PGL centre at Caythorpe Court in Lincolnshire was the venue and as well as Go lessons and playing, the youngsters were able to enjoy pole climbing, canoeing, archery, fencing, tunnel trail and zip wire. The Go-teachers this year were Helen Harvey and Tony Atkins, with guest teachers Toby Manning and Huw Mort on one day each.

Winner of the camp handicap tournament was Jed Lau from Oxford and second was Clinton Yu from Manchester. Winners of the Pair Go (Doubles) were Olivia Jennison (Cheadle Hulme) and Elijah Whitbread (Cambridge).

Pictures of the Go and physical activities can be seen in the Gallery.
