News:	Last Updated 15/11/2008 Festive Greetings and a Happy New Year to all! It is great to see the current increase in the numbers of adults training at West Malling being sustained. The chance to train with numerous partners is great way to hone techniques. I would take this opportunity to thank Sensei for organising the November workshop and Sempai Paco, David and Sensei George for their enjoyable sessions. Once again I felt the event was a great success. Personal apologies from me to Charlene for her sore neck this perhaps shows the value of regular Ukemi (break fall) practice and tucking in your head! 2008 seems to have gone in real blur with everybody making good progress and it is great to see Alan get his purple belt. West Malling Dojo is closed the first week in December 2008 due to the hall being unavailable. All West Malling students are nevertheless welcome to attend Monday’s session from 20:00 – 22:00 at Grove Green Hombu. Please can all students ensure they pay there fees as promptly as possible to cut down on Sensei's administration tasks and ensure the hall costs are covered. Quote of the month...
