I hope that everyone has had a good Easter period and is back ready to take up the challenges as we head towards mid-year. We are back to usual programming from Tuesday night with a full dance card of BBRD and KJR jujutsu, Systema, and Iaido.

I’d like to thank Jon H for his generosity in allowing us to requisition his garage and driveway to run some jujutsu classes while we have been away from the CBRC this past fortnight. We will be taking back the dojo mats this evening (Monday) , so if I could ask that we have a few people at the CBRC on hand at 5.40 pm to help get them back into the GX room.

Just a reminder that we are still practicing our baseline COVID/infection control procedures in the dojo. Please remember to

• Bring a towel (small or large), and “in dojo” footwear,

• Try and keep your gear neat and separate from others — we have 1.5 m markers to help.

• Do not come in if you are experiencing and cold/flu like symptoms. And

• Make sure you clean/sanitise any equipment that you are using.
