Course by Sensei Carlo Fugazza in Brussels
was
attended by 3 club members
and without a doubt was a great success. With training
on Friday Saturday & Sunday
it was a real inspiration and well worth putting on the calendar
for next year.
Below are a range of photo's from the course.

New picture gallery
being developed for the website. We hope to have pictures from recent
courses run by the club as well as course material on what we actually did -
as we are all familiar with situation where a week after the course you
can't quite remembering what you did. This condition seems to get
worse the older you get so I am told. If you have any suggestions on a
format of this page please speak to John and Rudi
