The Supper will start at 6.30 on Saturday February 8th, 2020, almost immediately following prizegiving at the 2020 Oxford Go Tournament. We plan to finish by 8.30 pm to give poeople a chance to get home. The tournament itself is being held at the Oxford Deaf and Hard of Hearing Centre, St Ebbe’s, Oxford, OX1 1RL.
Supper will be at:
Thai Street Kitchen, 6 St Michael's Street, Oxford, OX1 2DU. This shares permises with The Nosebag
(Google map/streetview),
– only a few minutes walk from the tournament venue, and closer to both the Bus
Station, and the Rail Station.
The cost will be approx £20-22 per head, for a 2-course meal (Starter and Main), including tea, and 10% tip. You will pay separately for any other drinks that you want.
There is a good choice of Vegetarian/Vegan dishes. You can check out the menus.
N.B. This year, we will not order in advance. A printed copy of the Menu will be available at the Tournament. Please decide what you want before we get to the restaurant, so that there are no delays. Thank you.
We will collect a deposit of £10.00 (NOT RETURNABLE) from you at tournament registration (making any necessary adjustments later). This is to ensure that we book the correct number of places.

with Subject Line "Simon Eve Memorial Supper" to
Simon was an enthusiastic Go player who lived in Henley-on-Thames, but latterly had 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. Sadly, less than 3 months after the Oxford Tournament – on Friday 4th May 2007 – Simon died suddenly. Since then, we have had this meal to continue what he started.
He is missed by many friends, and Go players. The Supper is now intended to be a chance for us all to meet Go players we normally meet only over the Go board, and for those who knew him to take part in a joyful remembrance of his life.
