Beginners Class Sept

The new Beginners class will commence at 1930hrs on 14 September, at the Welsh Institute of Sport. The £60 fee for the six week course includes a new shinai and 4 months membership with the British Kendo Association. Normal start time is 2000 - 2100hrs but we need to get application, insurance and issue of shinai sorted out on first night.
This is a change from our original date due to the international Cricket match with Pakistan, which is being played on the adjacent venue...ie cannot get near the WIS on cricket nights!!

The inter-regional Taikai 7 August

Just a reminder to all Kendoka who wish to participate in the next regional Taikai. AKAI RYUU are hosting this taikai at the University of Wales Hospital (what used to be called the Heath) leisure centre on the 7 August 2010, 0900-1200hrs. All welcome, three or five man teams depending on numbers. However, this is a friendly affair, so if you need team members I am sure we can provide some. There will be a small prize for the winning team...depending on what the local charity shops have in store at the time!! The plan is for a brief warm up, then about two hours of competition, leaving us a good hour for the poor old referees to get a chance for for a bit of Gi-Geiko.
Please make the effort to get here on Saturday 7 August. Many thanks.
