Dear Go Teachers,

We have been invited to have a booth and do outreach at the Japan Fair 2016 during Labor Day weekend at Meydenbaurer Center in Bellevue, WA.  This is a new version of the festival that used to be held at Bellevue College in early September (the Akimatsuri)   http://www.japanfairus.org/

Who can help out?  I’m sure there will be good food there!  We need to have more definite volunteers before we commit.

Thanks,

Brian

Dear Go Players,

For the July 4^th weekend, we will be closed on Saturday, July 2.  There will be no class on Monday, July 4 as well.

We will be open on Sunday, July 3, for our regular Monthly Ratings Tournament.  This is a great way to play some intense Go face to face. Registration is from 10 – 10:45 am.  We usually finish by 5:30. You do not have to play all three rounds, just tell the Tournament Director what your plans are.

If at all possible, please make sure your AGA membership is up to date before the day of the tournament.  You can join or renew your membership online at https://www.usgo.org/members/login  You can also manage your membership with a paper form at the Go Center.  We accept cash and checks.

There is no event fee for the Monthly Ratings Tournament, except to pay for your visit to the Go Center.  New Members get ten visits free, and Quarterly and Yearly Members get unlimited visits.

Cheers,

Brian

Dear Go Players,

For the rest of June, and for most of July, we will be maintaining our regular schedule.  Nick has two more classes on Monday nights, and then we will have guest teachers on Monday evenings in July, except that we will be on holiday July 4.  The Wednesday night class will be shared by new father Andrew Jackson, and Peter Nelson 6d.  Peter will probably be teaching this Wednesday, June 22.  We will be open this Saturday, with Dennis as usual, from 1-7 p.m.  Tuesdays are still big.  This Tuesday, Larry will be pizza czar, since I will be out of town again.  Lucy will open the Center this Thursday at 2 pm, and Larry will teach the beginners class at 6:30.

Our home page has the current schedule:

In August, we have more special events, but no regular classes.  Some of our members are going to the Go Congress in Boston, which starts July 30.

Dear Go Players,

We apologize for the short notice, but the SDK class will not be happening tonight.  Andrew has parental responsibilities tonight.  We should have class back on track by next week, June 22.

Dear Go Players,

Due to important family events, Andrew will not be lecturing tonight.  However, the Go Center will still be open for games and informal study.

Dear Go Players,

We will have some opportunities for guest lectures this summer for both the Monday Night DDK class, and also for the Wednesday Night SDK class, especially during the month of July.  Let me know if you would like to present something.  Note that we can set up our digital projector if you want to share stuff off your computer, or from the internet.

Also, we may need more school Go club teachers this fall, for after-school classes.  These clubs are crucial for getting the next generation playing Go.  They usually meet from 3 – 4 pm or 3:50 – 5 pm, often on Thursday afternoons.  Please contact me if you can help out.

Cheers,

Brian
