Royston Shogi Club (RSC)
The Royston Shogi Club (RSC) is a friendly association of Shogi players in Royston, Cambridge and surrounding districts. It aims to promote the playing of Shogi by organising meetings and tournaments throughout the year. At the moment it is encouraging the spread of Shogi playing in Cambridge by supporting the new weekly meetings there. There is no membership fee for the club. Instead RSC members are expected to provide their own Shogi sets, clocks, books, magazines, etc., for the benefit of all the members.

Shogi in Cambridge (UK)
All interested Shogi players are encouraged to attend the free weekly meetings held in Cambridge every Sunday morning at CB1 (the cybercafe on Mill Road near Parker's Piece) from 1000hr to 1600hr. All Shogi players from absolute beginners to experts will be very welcome to come for a game, a coffee, or just to watch. Further details can be obtained from Matthew Woodcraft.
The RSC supports the meeting, and RSC members will be there to meet you on most weeks. Even when they are unable to attend Shogi sets can be found at CB1, so come and find out what Shogi is all about, or come and teach a newcomer!
Royston Shogi Congress
Every September between 1987 and 2000 the Royston Shogi Club ran a 1-day Shogi Tournament in Royston, Herts, or Cambridge, UK. More recently the 3-round Shogi Tournament, latterly known as the 'Doug McGown Memorial Shogi Tournament', formed part of the 1-day Royston Shogi Congress, along with the British Open Tori-Shogi Championships and an all-play-all Mini-Shogi (5x5 Shogi) Competition.
