[Seattle Go Center] AGA Seeks Congress Volunteers for 2027

9:32 AM |

We hope a lot of locals will volunteer for some aspects of helping us host the Go Congress next year.  Even if you're not interested now, if you click the link, you can at least see our graphics for the congress, and yes the stones on the board are the Atomic Bomb Game (several moves ahead of our iconic sign showing the actual state of the board when the bomb hit).

Remember our locals Ken Reppart and Tony Chick are leading the way as tournament directors.  Chris K is helping a lot.  Some other members, staff, and directors have volunteered too.  Many national usual suspects have moved off Boston and are now working on Seattle's Congress next year.

Cheers,
Bill

[Seattle Go Center] Maeda Sensei Workshop -- 14-15 NOV

2:41 PM |

Hi, all, we're very happy Maeda Sensei said he would visit Seattle Go Center for a two-day workshop.  We will start at noon on Sat, 14 NOV, and go until 5 or 6pm.  Sun we will start at 10am, have a lunch break around noon, then continue until 5 or 6pm.

Admission is $30 for non-voting members (lifetime or annual), and $10 for voting members.  That covers both days.  Sunday, we'll do the pizza lunch order, but you can bring food and put it in one of our fridges.

We can usually get 2-3 pro visits a year, so please take advantage and come study with a pro!!  Thanks to donations and annual members who help keep SGC doors open and fund such events.

Cheers,
Bill

Hi, all, just wanted people to be able to mark your calendars that Maeda Sensei will visit SGC for a two-day workshop 14-15 NOV, so I nice Go intensive before Thanksgiving break.

More info to come in later OCT, but it will be the usual token entrance fees and times.  I should note thanks to folks who donate (including the Nihon Ki-in) and buy annual memberships because the entrance fees barely reduce the costs at all to fly pros to Seattle and care for them.

Cheers,
Bill

[Seattle Go Center] Looking for Volunteers for Bunka no Hi (November 1st Sunday)

8:31 PM |

Hello Go players,

The Japanese Cultural & Community Center of Washington (JCCCW) has invited us to host a booth at their Bunka no Hi this November 1st (Sunday). The event is located at the JCCCW (1414 S. WELLER ST., SEATTLE, WA 98144) and will go from 11am-5pm


I am looking for 4-5 volunteers to teach attendants the game of Go. It should be more of a midsize event, and there will be lots to enjoy at the event during downtime, such as a Japanese Armor & Sword display, a local Manga artist, Calligraphy, and more.

If you like to help out or learn more about this event, please email me back.
