Location:
Trinity School Gymnasium, New Design Road (right next to Harry Grove Stadium), Frederick, Maryland
Note: Please DO NOT try to Google or GPS the directions or maps to the Trinity School as their address can change regularly due to street name changes and you may get taken to a wrong (previous) location. There have been name changes for nearby streets along with recent construction of new exits from I-70 for access to this location. See the simplified updated directions below. You should have no problems getting to your local hotel destination using Google or your GPS. If you do feel a need to Google a nearby location (or set your GPS), then do so for Harry Grove Stadium in Frederick, Maryland, and once you get there, you will find the Trinity School gymnasium just next door off of Stadium Drive. Detailed and corrected Google maps are on the YCGF website seminars page (link is in the Maryland seminar announcement):
Yin Cheng Gong Fa Seminars - Master Zhang Yun
Directions:
It is a little tricky in this area where I-70, I-270, Rt85, Rt355, and Rt15 converge in Frederick. Difficulties have been magnified recently by changes in street names, and by the construction of new exits off of I-70 for access to the location. The best thing is to follow the directions provided below.
From East: take I-70 West to Frederick Exit 54; follow signs for Rt85S for a few lights looping around to Rt355; turn right onto Rt355N and get into the left lanes as you cross over I-70 to the first light; turn left at the light (New Design Road) and be sure to stay to your right continuing on New Design Road; go past the stadium and a row of pine tress and Trinity School is on your right; turn right into Trinity School lot.
From West: take I-70 East to Frederick Exit 54; follow signs for Rt85S for a few lights looping around to Rt355; turn right onto Rt355N and get into the left lanes as you cross over I-70 to the first light; turn left at the light (New Design Road) and be sure to stay to your right continuing on New Design Road; go past the stadium and a row of pine tress and Trinity School is on your right; turn right into Trinity School lot.
From South: take I-270 North to Frederick Exit 31A (Rt85, Market Street); continue off of exit ramp onto Rt85N for several lights (about 1 mile) to Rt355; turn left onto Rt355N and get into the left lanes as you cross over I-70 to the first light; turn left at the light (New Design Road) and be sure to stay to your right continuing on New Design Road; go past the stadium and a row of pine tress and Trinity School is on your right; turn right into Trinity School lot.
From North: take Rt15S, merge onto I-270 South to Frederick Exit 31A (Rt85, Market Street); continue off of exit ramp onto Rt85N for several lights (about 1 mile) to Rt355; turn left onto Rt355N and get into the left lanes as you cross over I-70 to the first light; turn left at the light (New Design Road) and be sure to stay to your right continuing on New Design Road; go past the stadium and a row of pine tress and Trinity School is on your right; turn right into Trinity School lot.

Important Note on Travel and Hotel Reservations: Every effort is being made to hold this seminar as planned, and to provide participants with as much advance notice as possible so they can arrange their travel schedules and hotel reservations accordingly. You should pre-register for the seminar as soon as you can, but you may want to delay your travel and hotel reservations until about 30 days before the seminar. The organizer and instructor must reserve the right to cancel the planned seminar up through the time of June 15, 2010. At your own convenience, we would advise you to consider booking any travel and hotel room reservations sometime after June 15, 2010 directly through your airline and the hotel reservation desk. In all cases, whenever you seek reservations, we advise you to check the travel and hotel reservation cancellation policy. Please be cautious of promotional websites that offer special low travel and room rates in advance, but without possible cancellation. The organizer and instructor for this event will not be held responsible for any travel or hotel expenses that you might incur in the event that we need to cancel the YCGF seminar for any reason. Please conduct your own web search for the above hotels in the Frederick area, and again, you are cautioned to confirm your travel and the hotel reservation cancellation policy BEFORE you book your travel and room. We note also that normal hotel rates in Frederick may be higher during weekends when there are 'special events' going on in the area. Please check this with your hotel.
