This past week we have managed to lock in a number of dates to put into your your calendars to fill out the rest of this year, starting with this weekend. Please make note of:

Saturday 23 October: QKA Kyudo beginners day, hosted by the Kohokai at Pine Mountain Hall. There will be Iaido before Kyudo from 8:00–9:30am, then the rest of the day doing through the fundamentals. There will not be any Kendo or Iaido in Toowoomba as a result.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday 12. 13, 14 November: Kendo intensive, National Fitness Hall, Gin Gin. Aim will be to head up Friday to train all day Saturday and morning of Sunday. Jujutsu and iaido/jodo TBC, but will most likely be Friday evening. BBRD are being supported by the BKC to help our sister Club in preparation for the QKR’s December seminar and grading. Kendo and Iaido will again be cancelled at the CBRC for this weekend.

Saturday 4 December: BBRD Jujutsu grading, so-honbu dojo, CBRC.

Saturday and Sunday 11-12 December: QKR Summer Seminar and Grading, CBRC. Opportunities for training and grading across Kendo, Iaido and Jodo. The event is open to all currently financial QKR members.

Thursday 23 December: Keiko yame — Last regular evening of training for the year.

Tuesday 4 January: Kagami biraki— keiko hajime, CBRC formal start to the training year with a vignette seminar provided by the Club’s disciplines.

We will certainly be providing more details as each of the dates draws closer. We will most likely be subject to ongoing COVID-related considerations, and there may have to be alterations to this schedule at short notice.

So certainly a busy time for the next few months!
