The club meets at the Cafe Roma, 231 E Street, Davis, CA, on Thursdays from 6 p.m. until closing, and at the Sacramento Food Co-Op, 1900 Alhambra Blvd., Sacramento, CA, on Mondays from 6:30pm or so. Some players are also meeting at members homes on some Fridays. We play four tournaments a year and hold two simuls (simultaneous games) in which a well-known player plays several local players. These events are held at other locations, as available space can be obtained.

The club has been active now for almost ten years. The majority of players are between 1 and 7 kyu, though both high-kyu and dan-level players are represented. Recent tournaments have drawn as many as 24 players, both members and non-members. While the university (UC Davis) has brought many players to the club, the club does not have any affiliation with the university, and is not a student organization.

The low overhead for Go playing space (the price of coffee bought by players at the Cafe Roma) has allowed dues to remain relatively low. Most of the dues go to covering the costs of space for tournaments and subsidizing simuls. These costs are considerably higher in most metropolitan areas with Go clubs. One goal of this club is to promote the enjoyment of a fascinating game without unduly flattening your wallet.
