We had a good turnout, and a thoroughly enjoyable session was had by all. I think Jon especially enjoyed himself

Normal training will resume on Monday 6th September 2010, 7 – 9pm.

Before that, there will be a training session with Neil Saunders Sensei on Saturday 4th September (see Session with Neil Saunders post)
