The club is free and open to all.

Location, Date and Time

    The Beltsville Community Center, 3900 Sellman Road, Beltsville MD 20705.  Center phone: 301-937-6613. Every Monday evening, from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm.

Directions (Use www.mapquest.com for a map to the Center)

     From the U of M College Park, go north on Route 1 towards Beltsville. Just before the Beltway, turn LEFT onto Cherry Hill Road. Travel for about 1 mile and turn RIGHT onto Sellman Road. Sellman Road has some sharp curves so be careful here. About a half mile on Sellman, you should see a sign for the Community Center on the LEFT. Turn into the entrance and the building is a quarter mile ahead.

     From Beltsville North and Laurel, take Route 1 (Baltimore Avenue) south and turn RIGHT on Montgomery Road (just past the RI Avenue intersection and the Shell gas station). Stay on Montgomery and turn LEFT at the 4-Stop Sign intersection. That will put you on Sellman Road. The Community Center will be on your RIGHT about 1/2 mile ahead. Look for the sign.

Etc.

     We have a strong need for young and old volunteers to help teach the games to new members and the inquisitive public. For further information, please contact John Goon at spineyone@yahoo.com.
