It has been great to see some steady number back in the dojo this week for training. We are still working towards our two big events for the remainder of the year, the trip to Gin Gin next weekend (12–14 November) and the hosting the QKR State Seminar and grading opportunity (11–12 December).

Unfortunately, Greg Nicholas sensei, who was due to undertake some contract work in the Toowoomba region has experience some delays with the contract, so is more likely to be here to have a few sessions with us towards the end of the month. However, we will keep everyone posted as his timing becomes more clear.

I would also like to encourage interest in the remaining shiai practice sessions that are being hosted at the Kenshinkai both the 27th of this month and on 18 December. Again, we will remind you closer to the days we are going done in support of this.

As mentioned in the other post this week, we will be making an order with Tozando mid this week, so please get your item wish list into Sean or myself ASAP.

Finally, I am going to try to ensure that we start our sessions a little more promptly from this week coming. If you know that it takes you 15 mins to get organised from the time you arrive at the dojo in order to be ready to start training, please make sure that you give yourself sufficient time to do so. I will be making sure that Jodo finished early enough on a Thursday, and that I am early enough on a Saturday to facilitate this. Please take the opportunity to do the same.
