With Summer definitely here, and term ended for most, we’ve scaled back to our 2009 holiday schedule. The Saturday session has been dropped and the Thursday one is now an hour earlier at 19:00-21:00. As always you are welcome to join our members at other nonstudent clubs at which they train/run. Enquire for details.

We’re sorry to announce that the seminar with Alister Giles on 2nd May 2009 has been cancelled. This is due to circumstances beyond our control and so we’re sorry that it’s been cancelled at such short notice.
Never fear–training for that Saturday will be as normal instead, so you needn’t miss out on any aikidoie goodness.
There’s no training tomorrow (11th April) because the Sports Centre’s shut for the holiday weekend.
We have the privilege of hosting Alister Gilles on the 2nd of May, 14:00–17:00 (2–5pm) for what shall be a interesting session of aikido. Alister is a 4th Dan aikidōka so it should be a good session for all.
Cost is to follow, but it should not be anymore than £5.

Sensei Dave will not be taking classes on the 11th, 16th or 18th of April. Therefore these training sessions may be cancelled, if we do keep them on it will be for a free training/sparing session. We will keep you posted closer to these dates.
There is NO TRAINING on the 28th of March 2009.
I think the dojo is in use. Sorry, you’ll all have to spend your Saturday some other way!
