Please note that the grading scheduled for 1-Feb-2008 on the South Coast will now be held two weeks later n the 15th. Speak to your Sensei if you have any questions.

22 Dec 2007 - 2008 Hombu Summer Camp
This is a reminder that the deadline for applications is 15th January ( ie received at Hombu by 15th January). The application has to be made through the federation, so please let Jeremy Peakin have copies of the forms in good time to send on to Hombu.

The BSKF is proposing to attend week E of the camp (25th to 28th March inclusive), and, depending on the level of interest, will organise a group flight to arrive the weekend before the 25th, returning 2 weeks later (around the 5th or 6th April).

In order to gauge the demand for a group flight, including an idea of preferred arrival and departure dates, could you please give Jeremy Peakin an idea of numbers of your members who would like to attend. Even if you wish to make your own travel arrangements, it would be helpful to know how many people will be attending the camp.
