Well here we are at the end of 2011 – a year that has seen Nick Cole achieve 5th dan, Brian 3rd dan and Stef & Hazel finally reached 1st dan.
We’ve had Monday sessions that have helped the kyu grades enormously with some people double grading at December’s grading session. Unfortunately the Monday session won’t be continuing next year due to the poor turn out as we just don’t have the money to keep it going. But if you really want to rain on a Monday and can make the commitment to pay monthly in advance then we’ll see what we can do in January (email Araz, Daniel, Jaz or me).
The equipment order has now been placed and should be ready for our first Tuesday session on Jan 10th, so if you’ve ordered a Gi please turn up and collect it!
The next grading will be Easter and there will be a specific dan grading session as we have three people who will be attempting the earn their 1st dan.
So, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year and get ready for the Year of the Katana!!
– Bill
