NGC's Pair Go/Paella Night a big hit

The National Go Center's first ever Pair Go and Paella Night last Friday was a big hit. Nearly 30 turned out to sample E-Journal Managing Editor Chris Garlock's vegetable paella with garlic sauce and then thirteen pairs competed with strong contingents from University of MD and the Baltimore Go Club, including the undefeated pair of Blair Chisholm and Keith Arnold. Organizer and TD Hal Small also went undefeated with his wife Betsy. 

"There was a strong sentiment for a monthly Friday night social with interest in either Pair Go or a Lightning Tourney - and of course paella!" reports organizer Haskell Small. In other NGC news, last week's snowed-out Community Meeting will be held this Wednesday. "This month we'll be discussing social media and promotion to get the word out about the NGC," says Gurujeet Khalsa. "We'll talk about our first 2-day Cherry Blossom tournament coming up on 3/30-3/31 as well." The meeting starts at 7p on Wednesday Feb. 27; "bring your best ideas, then stay and play some Go." Pizza will be served. photos by Chris Garlock
