The Greater Washington Go Club
History
The Greater Washington Go Club was formed in the early 1950's to provide a
central meeting site for DC area go players and to increase public awareness of
this fascinating board game. The GWGC has sponsored numerous events over the
years, including rated tournaments, demonstrations, and classes. It is a
chapter club of the American Go Association (http://www.usgo.org/).
Meeting
Site and Time
The GWGC meets every Friday evening, starting at 7:30 PM, in the basement of the
Cedar Lane Unitarian Church, 9601 Cedar Lane, Bethesda, MD. Players of all
strengths are welcome. Dedicated beginner/intermediate level lessons will be
given on the last Friday of each month, starting at 830. On the first Friday of each month, Yuan Zhou, AGA 7 Dan, conducts a workshop for intermediate to advanced players.
