About

The Society operates as a federation of chapters, according to its constitution.

• There is a general secretary who looks after the annual Queensland State Go Championships, a bank account for the float and a collection of go equipment.
• There is a convenor for each chapter, who looks after the chapter’s weekly or monthly meetings to play some actual go.
• The voting membership of the society are those players who register and pay to compete in that year’s Queensland Championships, plus life members and chapter convenors.
• There is a general meeting during each Queensland Championships where the voting members hear reports from the officers, elect a fresh general secretary, and transact the other business of the Society as they see fit.
• Chapters run themselves, in particular, they choose their own convenor and set the terms of their meetings.
• There is no membership fee. You want to join, turn up and play. You want a vote, turn up to the Queensland Championship and play. Your chapter may charge you something to play at its meetings.The Society will certainly charge you something to play at its tournaments.
• Queensland registered players are defined as those go players who are current voting members, who are known to turn up at a chapter (on the chapter/state mailing list), or who have competed in a Queensland tournament in the last 5 years.
