Brisbane Go Club

The incumbent Supreme High Overlord (which is a better title than club convenor, you have to admit) is Allan Hunt. He frequently begs people to rise up against his tyranny, but in the meantime provides cake.

We have our own Facebook page, but mostly hang out in the main QGS group.

Every two weeks, we have what has been called a “yum” night, in which we have some kind of delicious food available. This alternates between pizza and cake/generic baked goods. If you happen to find yourself there on one of those nights, please help yourself! The Supreme High Overlord is trying to lose weight, so the more you eat, the less his temptation.

The Brisbane Go Club was founded around 1976 at the University of Queensland, helping to found the Australian Go Association in 1978 (the AGA in turn was a founding member of the International Go Federation). We moved to the Pancake Manor in Charlotte Street around 1979, grew branch meetings at Sunnybank Hills in early 2006 and Chermside in late 2007 and departed the Pancake Manor for the Queensland Contract Bridge Club in July 2008. The club championship tournament is the annual Brisbane Spring. We alternate with Gold Coast Go Club to host the Queensland Championship.

Later that year we incorporated, and stayed that way until March of 2013. The club passed through an interregnum for a year and was reformed as a chapter of the Queensland Go Society on Saturday the third of May, during the 2014 Queensland Open.
