About
In the fiscal year ending in June of 2018, we provided lessons and encouragement for beginners four days a week at the Center, and one evening a week in the International District. We taught 157 new players at the Go Center during the year. For more advanced players, we had weekly lessons at two levels, two visits by professionals or champions, and opportunities for teaching games four days a week. Over 300 of our Go lectures are posted on YouTube.We also did public outreach at five festivals and three other events, provided teachers for four school go clubs, and ran two tournaments for young players.We have an active website, and we send email announcements to over 854 Go fans. We provide publicity for 10 other Go meet-ups and clubs in the area. We ran 12 tournaments that were rated by the American Go Association. We have about 100 visits a week to the Go Center, with 20 to 45 players of all levels regularly attending on Tuesday afternoon and evening. This is the largest weekly gathering of Go players in North America.
