No official December 2013 meeting


There will be no official meeting of the London Shogi Club in December as Caffe Nero will be rather full of shoppers.

However, we expect a couple of our regular players will be around on Saturday 14th December from about 11am. I hope it isn't too crowded for them!

2013 British Shogi Championships - reminder


The 2013 British Open Shogi Championships will be held in Hampstead, London over the weekend of Saturday 30th November and Sunday 1st December.


There will be an entry fee of £15 payable at the venue on the day. There will be no cash prize but there will be a trophy, books and other goodies. While in principle we are happy to accept entries on the day, it would be best if you could email David Faldon so we can make sure we have enough shogi boards and clocks.

Shogi London blog now reactivated on Blogger


The Shogi London blog was inactive from January through September 2013 due to technical problems. It is now being restarted on Blogger, at shogilondon.blogspot.co.uk.

As before, it will mainly be used to advertise and confirm meetings of the London Shogi Club.
