British Go Association
The British Go Association (BGA) promotes and supports the playing of Go, the ancient Chinese strategy game, in the United Kingdom.[1] The BGA was founded in 1953 and has a membership of about 450.[2] It oversees tournaments, publishes the British Go Journal, and maintains a list of clubs.[3]
Appearance of British Go Players at International Tournaments
BGA is regularly sending players to international tournaments such as the World Amateur Go Championship and the European Go Championship. BGA is also working to make Go more popular among the youth, and students have been sent to the World Youth Go Championship in 2010[4] and 2011[5].
