THE SKI & SPORTS CLUB OF WASHINGTON, DC






    

GREAT SPORTS FOR ALL SEASONS

Welcome to the SCWDC Social Program

The Club's Cultural and Social Programs have been merged.  The Club also decided recently to make all ticketed events available to our members and guests at our discounted group rates, without any additional markup or administrative fees.  This will help to ensure that we offer the lowest possible ticket prices to our participants.

Join our social activities throughout the year for some fun and relaxation. We offer you warm camaraderie, not to mention the spirits you can enjoy while making new friendships at our happy hours. But be it hot, warm, cool or cold, the Social Program is ready to offer just the right activity to fit the climate and your needs.

Happy Hours: Every third Thursday of the month we get together at an area watering hole. Join us and meet new friends! Locations vary, nearly all are scheduled in Northern Virginia, from McLean, Tysons Corner, Fairfax, Springfield, Alexandria, & Arlington.  These are posted on the club Calendar.

Parties and Events: These usually include a summer picnic, one or more "Back to the Slopes" parties, and our annual Election Party. This November we will also offer a Volunteer Party to honor and reward the Club's leaders and volunteers. 

All of our event leaders listed under our various activities and programs are all people like you – really busy – but they are having fun meeting other people. They also need help! (Setting up and organizing prior to an event or the clean up afterwards .... think of it as a “mini tail gate” party!)  If a party is not your thing, consider leading a group to your favorite restaurant or in a book discussion.

    @ Auld Shebeen Restaurant in Fairfax

    This year we are hosting our Annual Election & Awards meeting and party at the Auld Shebeen Irish Pub and Restaurant. This will provide our Club with another social activity for us to get together. As part of this event, we will be conducting our annual election of the Club's President and Directors  (short meeting) as well as acknowledging our volunteers who have contributed their time and efforts to Club activities and events. This is another DON'T MISS activity. Appetizers will be provided. Soft drinks, Irish beer and other adult beverages will be available for purchase at our private bar. SCWDC members are FREE; non-member guest fee is only $10/pp. 

    About 100+ members and guests attend, so this is our largest indoor event...our President strives to keep this a fun event for everyone, so the business meeting will be short.  

    For more information, or to volunteer to help, contact the office at scwdc@scwdc.org or 703-532-7776.  NOTE:  Office hours are currently 9 AM-1PM, Tuesday and Thursday, so if you need help with directions, please call during those hours.

    For the election our candidates are as follows

    • President - Ruth D'Alessandro 
    • Director - Bev Ashcraft
    • Director - Larry Langer
    • Director - Bill Maxwell
    • Director - Charmaine Mortley-Wood
    • Director - Thu Ogburn

    Location & Directions:
    Auld Shebeen Irish Pub
    3971 Chain Bridge Rd, Fairfax, VA 22030
    (703) 293-9600

    Note:  see above "Fairfax" address, this restaurant is in the City of Fairfax

    Free Parking near the restaurant in a three-story parking garage (Old Town Plaza Fairfax Public Parking) with entrances off Rt 123 and University Drive.  FYI, THERE IS NO DEDICATED RESTAURANT PARKING.  SEE THE MAP HERE

    Using University Drive to enter garage:  address is 3950 University Drive and the garage entrance 20 yards from this address.  Entrance is visible from University Drive but turns into the garage are now shown on this map. Coming in this way, go up the ramp to park on the upper floor and walk out to the other entrance/exit which fronts on Chain Bridge.  Go out this way to Chain Bridge, turn left, cross North St. and proceed to the restaurant.  With heavy traffic on Chain Bridge, this is the best entrance to use.  Enter this address into your smartphone driving app.  

    If you walk out from the same entrance that you came in, you'll be on University Drive, turn right and walk 40 yards to North St., cross over and walk along North St. to the Auld Shebeen, lower level.

    Using Rt 123 to enter garage: address is 3925 Chain Bridge Rd for using in a smartphone app. You will make a turn into a long driveway between two buildings, but garage entrance is not visible from the street.  Once parked, exit out the same way that you came in, turn left, cross over North St. and proceed to the restaurant.  The Auld Shebeen is at the corner of North and Chain Bridge.  Chain Bridge Rd is a very busy street and the parking garage sign is very small, placed on a building. 

    At Auld Shebeen, there is a outside entrance to the side of the main entry door that will take you directly into the party room, called the "Cellar."

    If using the map below, click on "View larger map" and expand by clicking twice on the "+" sign/right side/bottom, to see the (P) Parking symbol for the Old Town Fairfax Public Parking, just north of the Auld Shebeen.  The turns into the garage are not shown on this map - one from University Drive, the other from Chain Bridge Rd.  See addresses above for use in smartphone app.  CLICK "View larger map" to see more routes and use the "+" option to see the nearby garage with two entrances.
