The Berkeley Go Club meets every Saturday at a dedicated clubroom in downtown Berkeley, open to all skill levels. Complete beginners get a free introductory lesson and can borrow from an extensive library of hundreds of go books and magazines. Members play casual games, get reviews from stronger peers, and work through problems together. First-timers play free, and a student annual membership covers ongoing access to the library and clubroom.
