CongressNews No. 5


Thanks

I hope that by now we all realize how hard the Italian organisers of this congress work. These people have given up two weeks of their vacation time, not for relaxation and enjoyment, like the rest of us, but to work long, hard, stressful hours. They deserve our thanks, and certainly not our complaints.

And so do the people who sit in front of a computer screen, producing this journal, while the rest of us play friendly games of go and drink beer. But there is a third group of people, whom perhaps you have not thought about, who also deserve our thanks. Have you considered what it is like to be responsible for a party of young go players, for 14 days nonstop, 24 hours a day? Nice for the young players; hard work for the adults.

These youngsters represent the future of European go. I think that the adults from Romania, Finland, Britain, and perhaps other countries which I don’t know about, who lead these parties, deserve a hearty thank-you from all of us.
