Cyprus Go Association Teach a friend to play Go.

Cyprus Go Association and Otakucy members had a meeting on 4th of January 2012 with Japanese Children who visited Cyprus from the areas affected from the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
At first the children were presented with photos from Otakucy events (cosplaying etc) and they saw Japan through the eyes of shounen and shoujo!
Then a small presentation of Go was given to them by Argyris Fellas and the children had a chance to play go with the members of the CGA and among themselves. This was an enjoyable event for everyone.

The Cyprus Go Championship was held at the ESOBGA clubhouse on 26-27 November 2011.

Dimitris Regginos won over Argyris Fellas in the final, to become this year's Champion.
Nicholas Roussos came third.
