Normal programme resumes this week starting with Tuesday night class at BJC.

Best to your training in 2012!

Monday’s closed for September

Apologies to those who were expecting Monday’s to resume next week — the Monday class will resume when the University term starts again on the 3rd of October.

Last dedicated Weapons class 30th March

admin — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 14:40:41 +0000

With regret we announce the cancellation of the dedicated Wednesday weapons-class.

To help cater to students, Tuesday’s session will now include weapons-practice at the discretion of the teacher. Remember that the first hour of Friday’s session is dedicated to weapons as usual.

The last Wednesday session will be on 30th March. Thanks to all who supported it in 2010.

Monday classes ended until 10th January, last class at town dojos on 21st December

admin — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 17:11:37 +0000

The University Sport Centre is closed now until the 10th of January, so Mondays will resume in the New Year.

Town classes will continue until the Tuesday 21st of December and will resume in the New Year on 4th of January.

Update: An extra Tuesday class is arranged for the 28th for those wishing to work off the turkey and mince pies. All other classes are ended for the year.

No class Monday, website news, Sevenoaks

admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 10:37:42 +0000

For those who missed the email, there will be no University class on Monday 30th August.

Website

Our website is scheduled for upgrades over the next day or two, so don’t panic if you can’t reach it.

New for those of you with a modern web-browser such as Firefox, Chrome, Safari or Opera, you can now see a convenient timeline of our regular training schedule at the top of each page:

I’ve not yet got it to work in Internet Explorer 6-8, so it’s hidden from those browsers. You can of course still refer to our existing Venues and training times page, and if you are signed-up to our mailing-list you will continue to receive email reminders about changes to the regular training schedule.

Sevenoaks

Thanks to all who attended Saturday’s course in Sevenoaks!

Monday classes during Summer

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 09:44:57 +0000

With the exception of July 5th and August 30th, Monday sessions at the University will continue through the Summer.

Unfortunately we need to pay additional fees to keep the Sport Centre open during the school holiday. We kindly ask that club-members wishing to attend Monday classes during Summer please pay £50 to cover the extra cost. But the training will be worth it!

Thank you, and see you on the mat.

Tuesday Class – start time back to 2000

nikdoyle — Mon, 03 May 2010 16:32:11 +0000

From May 4th, the Tuesday class will return to its old start time of 2000 – that way we can avoid the parking wardens! See you tomorrow.

Tomorrows class cancelled

admin — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 15:28:48 +0000

Apologies to all students; tomorrows beginners session (Thursday 22nd April) has been cancelled. It will be back again next week.

Reminder: No classes over Easter

admin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:35:33 +0000

There will be no classes this Friday the 2nd or Monday the 5th of April due to dojos being closed for Easter.

5 Sessions commencing week beginning 22nd March 2010

nikdoyle — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:30:56 +0000

By popular request, Brighton Aikikai will be able to offer training every weekday evening starting Monday 22nd March. The new sessions will both be at Kicks:

Wednesdays 2045 – 2200 Weapons

Thursdays 2030 – 2200 Beginners to intermediate grades (basics)

Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays will maintain the current formats.

There is a slight “downside” in that the monthly fee will rise to £40 to cover the extra costs. No change for student termly fees and the option of £6 per session remains for irregular trainees.

I look forward to seeing more of you all!
