The final event in the busy summer season finished brilliantly at the Biggin Hill festival. Well done to everyone involved. (Pictures and some video will be added very soon...promise) This was our sixth year attending local events with our popular display team. Next year must be even better and selections will start in the Winter with the first practice day much earlier on in the new year. We have booked to use the Squash Club for this initial practice session on the actual display mats. The team needs a mix of ages and abilities to act as a show case for the club. We are looking to develop more set pieces, self defence, Kata and to raise the tempo of some of the other parts of the display. All videos and pictures from these events gratefully received and what I have will be posted to the Website Other options also being planned. Let us know if you are interested. If you don't have a club badge, please see Sensei Bob as soon as possible.
