Club closure in August
This is a reminder that the Genryukan dojo will be closed in August, due to some renovation work taking place at the Clarendon & Westbury Community Centre.
The last training session will be on the 26th July 2010, and we will resume normal practice on 6th September 2010.
In the meantime, other aikido clubs in the area will be open and will welcome you if you wish to train with them. If you need a lift, contact us via the website or our Facebook group, and we can arrange some car-sharing.
