Hello all! For those of you that don't know...In just 2 weeks, I'm shaving off my hair to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Care. They do an amazing job and this is something that's really close to my heart. I hope some of you will support me in raising a large amount for them. Any donation would be amazing, whatever you can spare. I wonder what my men will feel like afterwards?! 😕 Thanks in advance, Michelle xxx https://bravetheshave.macmillan.org.uk/shavers/michelle--waudby

Know your shinai! (thanks to Andy Fisher) https://youtu.be/CjEpeQcwsYA

Reminder we start at 5pm today (20th August) then curry for those who want one.

Woodthorpe Spice is booked for roughly 10 people. Sunday 20th 7pm. So training 5pm-6:30pm then over to the restaurant for those who want to.

Big thank you to Melanie Georgiou at Merrie Go Art - Melanie Georgiou for our portraits! We love them. Love Tim & Michelle xxx

If you're not turning up to practice can you please get in touch with Tim or Michelle to say so. We turned down plans tonight to open up for the Thursday session and no one came. We arrive 20-30mins early each session to open up and clean the floor. This is our time you're wasting! It's generally good manners to let people know but this has cost the club unnecessary hall fees. If we know numbers will be low, we can cancel the booking and save club funds. On a separate but related note, can we all start arriving on time. If you're running late can you let us know. This way we know whether we're expecting anyone and whether to wait or not. Sundays START at 18:00, Thursdays START at 19:30. Please arrive in good time to change and be ready to start on time.

During our impromptu club meeting this evening we have set a date for a little social. Hopefully these will become a bit more frequent. Sunday 20th August. Training 5-6:30pm then a walk round the corner to Woodthorpe Spice for a meal. Pay on the day. We need a rough idea of numbers. So far: Tim, Michelle, Andrew, Cat, Ed. Add your name below if you'd like to book a place.

Kendo fail. Sacked it off and went to the pub.

1 week to go!

We are on tonight as usual 7:30-9:30pm Keith should be here and we will have our special guest Daiki training with us again. Reza is still here too!
