The BGA has a number of promotional booklets, leaflets and other items about Go. This page briefly describes and illustrates them.
These items are normally made available free to volunteers doing outreach work on behalf of the BGA, which includes Go club secretaries.
They can also be made available to other people and for other uses at the BGA’s discretion. In this case we may request a payment to cover our costs. If in doubt, ask the secretary or president. Remember that the aim of the BGA is “to promote interest in and the playing of the game of Go”. We will be likely to look favourably on requests that help achieve that.
You may also wish to look at our gallery of Go publicity material made by others.
To obtain any of the items contact the BGA Secretary who will put you in contact with the correct stock holders.
