Fwds: National Go Center, Silver Spring club

[Steve Mount]

UMD Go,

We are not meeting this week, because it's spring break. 

But I'm forwarding two messages that might be of interest.  The first concerns the National Go Center, which is due to open the weekend of April 28-29.

The second is a reminder that there is a Silver Spring Go club that meets on Thursday evenings.

Dear Go Friends,

 

First, apologies if you receive multiple copies of this – it is being sent from multiple Go lists in the DC area and they may overlap. As you may have seen in the E-Journal the National Go Center is opening the weekend of April 28-29. There will be a 4-round Cherry Blossom tournament on April 28^th, educational events including a children’s friendship match over Skype with Mexico City on the 29^th, and lots more. Watch the E-Journal at usgo.org for announcements. No opening is complete without a t-shirt of course, and an order for t-shirts is going in this Friday, March 24^th.

 

T-shirts will be on sale on the opening weekend for $25. Anyone who would like to pre-order one now can get a special price of $20. And for anyone who is also volunteering at the booth supported by the local Go clubs at the Sakura Matsuri in DC on April 8^th, there is a special thank you price of $15. Shirts will be delivered at either the Sakura Matsuri, or on the opening weekend at the National Go Center. Here is the shirt design, available in 3 colors as shown.

 

 

If you would like to preorder a shirt (no payment necessary at this time), please send the following information to gurujeet.khalsa@nationalgocenter.org:

Size (XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL)

Color (Black, Purple, Blue)

Pickup location (Sakura Matsuri volunteer, NGC opening weekend)

 

Information needed by end of day March 23^rd for preorder pricing.

 

Thanks!

Gurujeet

Dear Go Players,

Just wanted to remind you that the Silver SpringBeginner/Intermediate Go Club will be meeting this Thursday night, March 23, 2017 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Zed’s Cafe in SilverSpring.   Zed’s Cafe is located at 8225 Georgia Avenue, between Thayer Avenue and Silver Spring Avenue, a short walk from the Silver Spring metro.  It has great food, coffee, art, and a living room type atmosphere.  We meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month.

As you know,  we are open to everyone, but we especially try to create a comfortable space for beginning and intermediate go players to play and learn.  So, come join us if you’d like to play, teach, or learn this great game!
