Unfortunately the dates conflict with the Shobu AIkido Summer School (24 - 27 July) but ...

The first class in the Owen Barnes Room

We held our first session in the Owen Barnes room last night and it was great success.

It really is a pleasure to be in a room on our own rather than in part of a sports hall - no more shuttlecocks landing unexpectedly on the mat during training. The people at the Bob Carter Centre (both the staff and the badminton players) have been a pleasure to work with for the past couple of years but, like any group, we've wanted a room of our own.

Being on our own also means that we can go back to a more traditional format for a session including such things as sweeping the dojo before the class and having time to fold hakamas properly at the end of class because there's no-one waiting to take the space as soon as we finish.
