Where and When   

We play in downtown Winchester, VA, in the Woltz Pavilion of the Godfrey Miller Center. The Godfrey Miller Senior Fellowship Center is on the East side of the Loudoun Street pedestrian mall, between Cork Street and Boscawen Street, just opposite the Patton Furniture store. The official address is 28 South Loudoun Street. Enter the Pavilion either from the pedestrian mall, through the garden, or from the rear driveway, behind Winchester Towers.

Click Here for a map of Downtown Winchester. Our location is marked with a starburst. The pedestrian mall is not shown on this map; it is an extension of Loudoun street, running from Cork street to Picadilly street.  If you get lost, try calling Milan Majarov, (540) 667-3083 or Marykay Fahnestock (540) 533-4367.

Parking Options: For the evening games, the nearest parking is in the lots, with meters that are not required evenings, off the Loudoun street downtown pedestrian mall, at Wolfe street. For the daytime game, we suggest the Cameron street parking garage.
