Mumeshi 3's Teams

We are provisionally going to put up two teams to go to Mummeshi 3 tournament this year. Shaun is not sure he will be around and neither is Mark. I will put myself available if we cannot fill the two teams. We want to give our members the chance to experience competition and Mummeshi is one of the best places to fight a lot of other players, the good, the very good, the quite ordinary and people just like ourselves who don't enter competitions from one year to the next.
I know that Andre, Nick, and James are up for it but we need a few more plus backups should someone have to pull out at last minute, and of course the proverbial problem, the Ikkyu on each team. So, we will raise this issue at each class and Mark will see if any of his club, who are still Akai Ryuu members are interested in being on our teams. Put the word out to any of our guys who cannot make class because of work committments but who might be able to get a Sat off for the competition. Talk about it on Tues.

Matsumoto last night and Kendo Dinner

Kendoka
Tuesday will be Matsumoto's last night with us. The plan is to have a short practice 1930 - 2030hrs and then take off to the Summer Palace chinese restaurant in Llandaff for a nice meal to send Matsumoto off in style.
I certainly have gained an enormous amount from his direction, though the great man has probably not noticed any significant improvement in my performance!! As a thank you to him for his fantastic input to our club over the last year I would like as many as possible to make Tues night. It looks as if we will have a healthy beginners class on Tues night so it might be quite busy for us all.
I have tried to book the Summer Palace this PM but no answer. I will continue to try and book. My aim is to book for 12 seats initially with a let out that there might be more. Please let me know if you intend to practice Tues night and if you wish a seat at the dinner. Let me know ASAP. The 9-12 regulars who practice on a Sat will all be going so I need the info immediately to assist the restaurant. Thank you all.
