Summer Training Costs

Hi everyone, from now until term time starts again in late September training will cost £4.20 for non-students and £2.10 for students (with your NUS cards). Unfortunately staff do not seem to get a discount, but please feel free to bring this issue up yourself with your employer/talybont if you feel this is incorrect.

Also a big thank you to everyone who paid a little more than they should have on Monday :)

Yesterday was the Aiuchi 15-year Anniversary Ball and I hope everyone that went really enjoyed themselves. Thanks to everyone that taught during the training session , and to everyone who organised the event :)

Congratulations to Rosie, who was awarded the Aiuchi Student of the Year!!

The Woody and Extra Training

Seeing as the union in it's infinite wisdom has decided to cancel our session on Wednesday, we are going to the woody for a few drinks, meeting around half 7-8.

Extra training is booked on Sunday again, ten till twelve, anyone hoping to grade come along. If you have anything in particular you need help on make sure you ask.

Training on Sunday

Hey guys, with the grading coming up soon we've arranged to have an extra training session this Sunday, 10:00-12:00. It would be good if anyone interested in grading could come. Further weekend sessions will be posted as they are arranged. Jen : D

Aiuchi Nationals

The Aiuchi Nationals are being held in Keele on the 15th and 16th of November.

The two day event contains ~ 12 hours of training and is a great chance to meet other jitsuka from across the country.

Because it is a two day event we will be staying in a Hotel overnight - We are estimating the total cost to be: £40 per person as long as there are three people sharing a room; this includes training fees!

Speak to me if you are interested!
