Training times this week
KendoTuesday: 7-9pm at EKC - This is Honda Sensei's last training in Edinburgh so please try and make it. Even if you can't practice please come and join me for some watching practice. Even if your just watching please bring dogi its a really nice gesture for Sensei.

Saturday: 2:30-5:30pm Trust Upper Hall - This will just be a normal practice and if you don't know the hall its in the main CSE sports centre just ask for directions or simply follow familiar looking people with swords. Unfortunately for non CSE members there is a fee on the door of 2.50 (the usual to use the gym).

Please remember to be at both early to get ready for starting on the dot, Sensei is a very punctual man!
