Back to training!

We are back in action and back to our normal training schedule since Monday 7 Jan – the only change is no more Wednesday evening classes for the moment. We are currently trying to find a new ‘volunteer’ to take them over, and hopefully they will resume shortly. Watch this space.

Well, actually, the Dojo will remain open if people are keen to train. Check with your Sensei though and the seniors who have Dojo keys – so feel free keep training! Just check in with us during class to see who’s around and available.

There will be no ‘official’ classes from Monday 24 Dec to 6 Jan. First class in the new year on Monday 7 Jan 2013.
