New Club and Go event in Catalonia [Article updated on 26 April 2023]

By H. Kapolos | News | 18.04.2023 14:25

In Catalonia during the Sant Jordi festival (April 23th) the day of culture, love and life is celebrated. It is customary to give women a rose and men a book or vice versa as preferred. It is a party that takes place in the street where there are stalls where books and roses are sold and people walk, look, buy and give these things away for this party.

For this reason, taking advantage of the fact that this year it falls on a Sunday and we have the whole weekend (every time the festivities last longer than indicated) Joan Lluis has organized the inauguration ceremony of the Go club of the Gran Penya de Vilanova i la Geltrú on April 22th to achieve maximum influx and impact.

The main idea is to show a new game and, at the same time, since this day is celebrated on the day of the book, present the first Go book in Catalan within the framework of a global project to guarantee the possibility to use the different mother tongues of the world in the field of Go.  Read more...
