Directions
The registration table will be in the backyard (21317 Comus Ct.) of our Vice President's house, Brett Rojas. The easiest place to park will be along Cheltenham Circle between Cedar and Beech Lake.
If you are coming from Waxpool Rd., make a turn on to Ashburn Village Boulevard, and then make a left on to Cheltenham Rd. Follow this road (just past Felicity) until you see white picket fences. There will be a lake on both sides. The lake on the left is Cedar Lake which is where the registration table is going to be. If you are coming from Rt.7, make a turn onto Ashburn Village Boulevard. Then take a right on to the second Cheltenham entrance and follow the above directions.
If you have any questions about the directions, tournament or the club in general, please contact me.
