Akai Ryuu Christmas Party 2nd December


Kendoka
The renowned Akai Ryuu Christmas party will take place 2nd December.
1930hrs at TenKaichi Sushi and Noodle bar
236 City Road
Cardiff
CF24 3JJ
www.tenkaichi.co.uk

Booked for 20 people so get your seat confirmed tonight with a £5 donation to Mark's favourite charity. Remember, this is the worse time of the year for Mark, all that money going out the door, so give the £5 with a smile on your face!!!

Our thanks to Mike, who organised the booking and I hope to see at least 20 hungry souls at the venue. There is usually somewhere to park on City road at that time of night.

The picture is a sample I have been making for The Marshes Armoury, to show what we can do. We intend to market our wares at a couple of the re-enactment events next year. Still got a little ball to go on top of the basket.

Our first set of armour


Kendoka
I thought you would appreciate the progress this armourer has made in his 59 years. The picture could be, may be myself wearing my first attempt at a suit of armour. A helpful and knowing friend gave me this original. Of course we were slimmer in those days!!

Akai Ryuu Christmas Party


Kendoka
We are planning to have our Christmas party on tuesday 2nd December (ie when BOL is closed for exams). We will be asking for a show of hands at our next practice on Tues night. However, for those unable to attend on tues but who would like to come, could you please email me so that we can get an idea about numbers. The plan is to go to one of the noodle restaurants around Cardiff, hoping to fix which one in next week. Remember, members can take partners and the club picks up the tab for the meal. Hope to see you all there.

Rugby match with Matsumoto sensei

We will meet in the Prince of Wales Pub, (opposite the Millenium Stadium) at about 1830hrs on Friday 14th November. Should be a good night. May be a meal afterwards but cannot remember if Rhys managed to get us in anywhere. Can I take this opportunity to thank Rhys for organising this outing, much appreciated by me personally and I am sure by everyone else. Thank you Rhys.

No Practice on 2nd and 9th December

The school requires the gym for examinations on the 2nd and 9th Dec. Therefore, there will be no practice at BOL on those nights. However, we will be going to Bristol instead. Meet at the Caldra, usual place, at about 1830hrs.
