Business as usual

Every year the dojo gets hit. It’s usually the weather doing all the hitting. This year was no different. Oh, alright, this year is pretty different as the dojo got hit really hard. Most of you would have seen the water damage caused by the heavy winds and rain a couple of weeks back.

Most of you will also know that it’s business as usual. A little bit of water never managed to stop us in the past and it sure is not stopping us now. So if you’re not too sure about training, if you’re having doubts and don’t know who to ask if the dojo is still open… It’s still open and we’re still training following our usual time table. So come on down and join us on the matt for some mid-winter Aikido action. It will keep you warm if you do it right 😉

Attendance register

June 2013 attendance register. We would like to ask all members to consider setting up automatic payment for their fees. It’s very convenient and at $50 per month works out cheaper than paying for individual classes. All relevant details are available on our website. If you can’t commit yourself to this then please try to pay your fees as much as you can via internet banking. If this is too hard or not possible then please try to bring exact change when paying your matt fee in cash. All dojo administration is done by volunteers and any help that members can provide is always greatly appreciated.

See you on the mat!
