Last week Class 5/6 were introduced to the board game ‘Go’. Robin Dews, a former parent and enthusiastic Go player, led the first of four workshops, where he is teaching the children how to play this ancient oriental board game.
The game was first recorded in China more than 2,500 years ago and is believed to be the oldest board game in the world still played in its original form. With more than 45 million active players in Japan, China and Korea, it is particularly valued as a teaching tool for children due to its balance of analytical and creative problem solving. It is also great fun!
Thanks also to a generous gift from The British Go Association (www.britgo.org), we now have seven Go boards complete with stones in school for the children to use.
If you would like to learn more about the game or how to play Go, Robin and the Nottingham Go Club meet every Tuesday evening at the Dice Club Games Cafe on Mansfield Road. New players are always welcome.

Vonnegut, Vonnegut!
Who Am I This Time? and The Kid Nobody Could Handle
at Iona School on Tuesday 4th June 2019 at 7.30pm, in the Hall
Two stories by Kurt Vonnegut
A one-man play of two pieces by master American writer Kurt Vonnegut.
Performed by Glen Williamson.
Suitable for ages 11+
Tickets: £9/£7 conc.
In The Kid Nobody Could Handle, a trumpet and a pair of boots compete for the soul of a destructive teenager, as a kind and gregarious high school band teacher confronts a humourless foster father. Who Am I This Time? is a wacky yet moving comedy about a small-town production of A Streetcar Named Desire.
Celebrating the healing power of school bands and community theatre, this is Kurt Vonnegut at his most human and heartwarming. The great American writer’s hyperbolic narrative turns out to be wonderfully theatrical.
(Ninety minutes including an intermission; each story runs about 40 min. and can also be booked separately.)
“Right on and totally hilarious. Williamson plays all the roles… brilliantly.” (Berkshire Bright Focus)
“Vonnegut is hard to resist, and. . . Glen Williamson. . . is a deeply perceptive, stylish, and affecting actor.” (New York Arts)
