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.

Directions, Etc.

    Take the Capital Beltway to the Connecticut Avenue exit. Proceed north towards Wheaton. Make a left onto Beach Drive (the first lighted intersection north of the Beltway exit). Then turn right at Cedar Lane (also a lighted intersection). The entrance to the church will be 100 yards on the right. The red star on the map marks the spot. Our meeting room is #15 in the church basement, and you can find it by following the sound of clicking stones.

    Annual membership dues are $15. For further information, contact Haskell Small at 202-244-4764 or Ben Bernstein at 301-384-4615.
