**Event will happen by default. Usually we have 5 - 10 regular players every week. (They are not on meetup so you won't see the attendee count reflected here) So just come down! If you can't find us, text us at 9199 0946**
When you have reached, the person in charge (likely Shaun) will arrange a player of your skill level for you to play with. If you haven't played in a long while or are just started learning for awhile, don't worry as there are other beginners and you will be able to play with handicaps.
Most players start streaming in at 7PM onwards but it's ok to be early or later, whichever is more convenient to your timing.
You are free to arrive at any time and leave at any time. Most serious players will play and review their games until 10PM and you are encouraged to do so. If you require a review of your game, you may politely request it from your opponent. We are all here to socialise and build a community around this game.
There may be instances where there is a low visitor count. In such a case, Shaun will play a game with your personally or arrange an AI opponent so not to worry about a wasted trip.
Please note that this is not a class for learning how to play. You may find our classes on our website @ https://thegoacademy.com.sg.
Most importantly, enjoy and have fun. You may contact us at 9199 0946.
We are open every Monday 7PM to 10PM until specifically stated. Join our WhatsApp group when you meet us in person. Do take note that we will not be dropping you a message on meetup to confirm that the event is happening or to liaise with you. The event by default is confirmed to take place every Wednesday.

** JAPAN'S IZU PENINSULA/ HAKONE/ YAMANASHI SAKURA GEMS & SECRET TRAILS! **
**TRIP CONFIRMED!**
**(JUST 2 SLOTS LEFT FOR SPECIAL PROMO PRICE?**
🍁 Discover the Untamed Beauty of Japan’s Sakura Cherry-Blossom in this Breathtaking 9-Day Hiking & Road Trip Adventure! 🚗
Hey members, you may have been to Japan many times but we bet many of you have yet to go 'off-the-beaten' track away from the popular touristy spots to **EXPLORE & ENJOY** the **REAL JAPAN** \- it's immense beauty\, colorful culture and hidden gems that few know of\.
Come, join us on this breathtaking adventure as we take you to uncover Japan’s hidden gems, beautiful mountains, tranquil lakes and crimson forests during the early sakura season which comes slightly earlier in the mountains. **Note:** This is not your typical tour — it’s an hiking cum road-trip adventure designed for hikers, nature-lovers, photographers and explorers who crave the freedom to roam beyond the boring tourist trail that few know of.
Our journey begins in Tokyo before we board the train to **Odawara**, where the real adventure starts. From here, we’ll hit the road to explore the dramatic coastlines of the **Izu Peninsula**, **tranquil mirror lakes** and **waterfalls**, and the **beautiful forests** of the **Amagi Mountains.** We’ll soak in **rejuvenating onsen hot springs,** visit **charming countryside towns**, and hike through the breathtaking landscapes of **Shosenkyo Gorge** and the cherry-blossom trees/ forests and **picturesque** **5 Lakes** surrounding **majestic Mt Fuji**.
But that’s not all — we’ll also visit **vineyards, winery**, **local fruit farms**, indulge in seasonal harvests, and experience authentic Japanese cuisine along the way. Expect handmade soba, melt-in-your-mouth sashimi, and hidden izakayas only locals know.
Each day offers something different: **misty mountain trails, lakeside sunsets, volcanic valleys, coastal viewpoints,** and **soul-soothing soaks** in traditional hot-spring onsens.
To end our journey with a bang, we return to Tokyo and dive into the neon-lit buzz of **Shinjuku** — a perfect contrast to the serenity we’ve just experienced.
This is your chance to explore Japan’s beauty off from the usual touristy sights during the cherry-blossom season - the way few ever do and knew — with the breeze in your hair, a smile, a handphone/ camera in hand, and new friends by your side. We're sure that **90%** of these places we're showing you will be new or unknown to you even though you may have been to Japan several times before. Cos these hidden gems, amazing hiking trails, farms, small villages & scenic places are curated from my 40+ years of adventures there in Japan. They are mostly off-the-beaten track, may not be found in Google maps and not easily accessible without your own private vehicle and good topo navigation skills.
So ... are you game for adventure to enjoy autumn in picturesque Japan and discover new hidden trails with us?
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
**TRIP HIGHLIGHTS:**
**1) IZU PENINSULA**
*A hidden gem south of Tokyo, the Izu Peninsula offers a stunning blend of coastal cliffs, serene waterfalls, and forested mountains ablaze with sakura colours. From the scenic Kawazu Seven Waterfalls to the vibrant woods & forests of Shuzenji, Izu is perfect for hikers and onsen lovers alike. Explore charming hot spring towns, dramatic sea caves in Dogashima, and mountain trails in the Amagi Highlands — all while tasting fresh seafood and soaking in ocean-view baths.*
**2) HAKONE**
*Hakone is a beloved getaway known for its steaming hot springs, volcanic landscapes, and iconic views of Mt. Fuji. Visitors can hike quiet forest trails, cruise across the misty waters of Lake Ashi, and stroll down cedar-lined paths of the old Tokaido Road. The Hakone Open-Air Museum adds an artistic twist to nature, while hidden onsens and traditional inns provide the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. In spring, the surrounding hills burst into brilliant pink and red, creating picture-perfect scenes.*
**3) MT. FUJI Five Lakes Region**
*Surrounding Japan’s most iconic mountain, the Fuji Five Lakes area is a paradise for nature lovers and photographers. Lakes Kawaguchi, Yamanaka, Saiko, Shoji, and Motosu offer mirror-like reflections of Mt. Fuji, especially stunning in the lovely spring flower season. The area is dotted with hiking trails, lava caves, flower parks, and traditional villages. It’s also the perfect place to catch sunrise over Fuji or unwind in a lakeside onsen with unforgettable views.*
**4) YAMANASHI** **(incl. Shosenkyo Gorge)**
*Yamanashi is home to some of Japan’s most spectacular mountain scenery. **Shosenkyo Gorge** is a must-see, with towering cliffs, riverside trails, and vibrant maple forests. Beyond the gorge, enjoy **fruit-picking** at local orchards, **wine-tasting** in Japan’s premier wine region, and panoramic views from ropeways and scenic plateaus. The region combines mountain beauty with cultural charm and is the perfect inland contrast to the coastal Izu.*
Yes, there's so much to explore beyond the popular touristy places of Tokyo, Osaka & Kyoto. Cos the real beauty lies beyond - at the countryside, lakes, farms, waterfalls, cedar and oak forests, pilgrimage shrines, secret torii-gates, caves, vineyards & more!

SQL Azure Events Near You
Connect with your local SQL Azure community
CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
Building Agents with Microsoft Foundry
We will show a variety of methods for building agents that run in Microsoft Foundry. This covers the different types of agents: Prompt, Multi, and Hosted, as well as the development lifecycle using evals and traces.
TBD

Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Drake Lundstrom is presenting:
Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Abstract:
Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need!
If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo.
Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.
