South Of The River Seminar – Pictures

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.

Robert Mustard Sensei

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.
