Simon Eve Memorial Supper, Sat Feb 16th 2008

When and Where?

The Supper will be held immediately following the 2008 Oxford Go Tournament -- at approximately 6.30 on Saturday February 16th 2008. The tournament is being held, as usual, in St Edmund Hall, Oxford, OX1 4AR -- check out the bird's eye view map, and the normal streetmap (or its printable version. The meal will be in a restaurant nearby -- probably a Chinese restaurant.

Simon Eve

Simon was an enthusiastic Go player (7 kyu) who lived in Henley-on-Thames, but recently played mainly in the Oxford City Go Club. He often brought with him both his friend Dave Smewing, and his nephew, Felix Eve. He sometimes also brought his partner Ali Welch, and even got his brother Alex to supplement his attendance at his local Milton Keynes Club with visits to us at Oxford.

After the 2007 Oxford Go Tournament, Simon organized a very enjoyable meal for about a dozen Go players. It was hoped that this would be extended, in years to come, to include more players from the Midlands and the South of England. Unfortunately, less than 3 months after the Oxford Tournament -- on Friday 4th May 2007 -- Simon died suddenly. He is missed by many friends and Go players. The Supper is intended to be a joyful commemoration of his life, and a chance for us all to meet Go players we normally meet only over the Go board.

Cost

The cost will be modest -- we will share the cost of a normally priced meal.
