This is a last call for registrations before cancelation !

We need minimum 12 registrations on next Friday (14/11) to maintain the event.
Up till now, we have just 6 registrations.
That means we need minimum 6 more in the forthcoming days, otherwise, we'll have to cancel the event, what would be a pity !

This year, our main instructor will be this year Kim Ouweleen, also known as Murugandi.
Kim is an artist, writer, and 4-dan Go teacher from Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Known for the video series 'Murugandi Reviews' (2011, for EuroGoTV with Harry Weerheijm) and BadukMovies (2012-2015, created with Peter Brouwer).
