Club closure in August

This is a reminder that the Genryukan dojo will be closed in August, due to some renovation work taking place at the Clarendon & Westbury Community Centre.

The last training session will be on the 26th July 2010, and we will resume normal practice on 6th September 2010.

In the meantime, other aikido clubs in the area will be open and will welcome you if you wish to train with them. If you need a lift, contact us via the website or our Facebook group, and we can arrange some car-sharing.

The “South Of The River Seminar” has been very successful.

We would like to thank the team from Gowaryu for organising such a great event. We would also like to thank all the students who attended, without your support events such as these would not happen. The coaches for this event were second to none with well thoughtout themes.

Here are some pictures of the events, the entire gallery is available here.

For those interested in attending the Robert Mustard Sensei seminar in Dartford along with Christophe and I in October, to save £10 on the weekend ticket (normally £70) you have to have the application in before September. If you give the form and payment to me this week before we close for August, I will forward it on to the organisers.

This is one seminar not to be missed.
