As mentioned at training on Saturday, the Brisbane Kendo Club was proposing a two day training event to be held at the Ipswich Trades Hall this coming weekend.

However, due to the uncertainty of the COVID situation, Itakura sensei has decided to postpone this to a later date. We will be looking for an opportunity to hold this event again in the near future.

Given that we missed the opportunity for grading at the cancelled July seminar, there has been some talk of organising an opportunity in September for grading, given that the changes to the Kendo grading MoD (as I understand it from sensei) now have a minimum of 3 rather than 5 calendar months between grading attempts. There had been some talk earlier this year that Toowoomba might be in a position to host an event like this, so I will be following up to see what the possibility of this might be, and whether we can attach an inter-Club training event to this as well.

I will let everyone know more when I have details.
