  M S O   6   :   F O U R   W E E K S   A N D   C O U N T I N G
  =============================================================

  Hi! This is just a quick note to let you know about the exciting
  things taking place this month at http://www.msoworld.com/, the
  #1 mind sports site on the Internet.

  The countdown to MSO 6 is on!
  - MSO 6 will be at Loughborough University, UK, 14th - 18th August
  - After Prague and England, next stop Finland, 13th - 20th October
  - MSO Italy's back again for another top event, 5th - 8th December


  ] THE MAIN EVENT COMES TO LOUGHBOROUGH, ENGLAND

  The hire venue is signed, the accommodation is in place, the
  schedule is finalised, everything is ready to go. Play in up
  to three tournaments a day and still have time to enjoy the company
  of your fellow stalwarts afterwards as the Mind Sports Olympiad
  takes over part of Loughborough University. Inexpensive on-site
  facilities mean that this will be the most social MSO yet!

  ] ANOTHER NEW COUNTRY JOINS THE MIND SPORTS MOVEMENT

  After another very successful event in Prague, the capital of the
  Czech Republic, we support the Mind Sports Festival taking place
  in Oulu, the premier university town of Northern Finland. From the
  13th to the 20th of October, the festival will feature tournaments
  in chess, shogi and xiangqi alongside free teaching of a number of
  different mind sports. Hot action near the Arctic Circle!

  ] ROUNDING THE YEAR OFF, IT'S MSO ITALY 2002

  Europe. Italy. Milan. C.so Magenta 61. Palazzo Stelline. This is
  the place to be between the 5th and 8th of December as the very
  experienced MSO Italy team put together another festival full of
  fun and fascination. Exciting events, many of which aren't seen
  anywhere else in the MSO world. What a venue, too!
