This term starts on Sat 29 April and goes for 9 weeks until 28 June. Phew! What a busy start to the year! A beginners' course, a club-based grading, a 3 kyu to 4 dan grading, an Australian Championships, a Kendo seminar and a 1 dan to 5 dan grading! Well done everyone for ensuring that all those events ran smoothly and congrats to those who took part, whether as competitors, volunteers, grading candidates or judges. Hall hire fee increase We will be paying more for dojo hire from this term with the first rate increase since we started at St Pius. We will also be paying for more hours per week (5 hours as opposed to 3.5 hours) to reflect the amount of time we spend in the dojo. We will not be raising our fees however. They remain at $10/training for the first two family members ($5 for FT tertiary students and HC card holders), and free for third and any subsequent members of the same family. But this means that we need to have everyone remembering to pay their dues, otherwise

Just a reminder that there will be no training this Saturday 26 Nov due to the Victorian state election, and our dojo being a polling booth for the day. Instead, Keegan Almeida who runs RMIT Kendo Club has said we are welcome to join them. Location : RMIT Bundoora Sports Centre, McKimmies Road. Accessible via Plenty Rd and the 86 tram. Time : 2.00pm to 5.00pm. Last hour will be shiai training, so the first two hours more suitable for newer people. Cost : free Keegan runs a great training with a strong focus on basics. Their club has lots of recent beginners and experienced people as well, so it's a good match for Nanseikan.
