Summer Course – accomodation

gordonfong — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:25:05 +0000

For those that are thinking about camping at Hurst View, where the Devon crew and Arthur Meek Sensei stay at, then you should start making bookings.

Speak to Wing, he’s your man and is fully aware of us lot! He has been kind enough to say we could have a group BBQ at the place over the weekend so non-residents can come as well.

He says “Our normal camping charges are £20 for a two man tent and £25 for a bigger tent.
I am happy to offer £7 per person per night, regardless of tentage.
We could buy some cheapies and set them up for the visitors.
We have static caravans, but we can only rent them out by the week during the summer.”

Depending on the uptake, we would buy some cheap tents for people and have them set up ready especially if people are travelling from overseas, err yes, I mean you Italians. There is a pub near,

Squad Training – May 2012

Dear fellow Wado-Ryu Karate-Do Academy members,

Please find attached to this e-mail a poster/flyer of the next Wado-Ryu Karate-Do Academy National Squad Training.

This particular squad training session will also include selections for the European Wado-Ryu Karate-Do Championships later this year in Portugal.

Please understand no member will be selected unless they attend these selections.

Could I ask all instructors to please pass the information on to their members and encourage members of their dojo who they think would benefit from the experience to attend.

With Kind Regards,

Peter Hill

Book early for camp site by Summer Course

gordonfong — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 12:28:27 +0000

I have contacted the owners of Hurst View camp site who can offer a good deal for people coming to the 2012 Summer Course. I will give more details very soon and you should book early to take advantage.

They will have tent pitches and we may even buy some cheap tents and have them ready for people, so saves Italians turning up late at night and sleeping rough, ha ha.

There are also static caravans for those that like a firm roof above their heads but you will need to book for a full week, which is no bad thing so you have some time to visit other parts of the beautiful new Forest area or even come into Bournemouth.

We should be able to organise a BBQ for the Saturday night as the owners think we can have an area somewhere for our use. It seems to be all coming together after a couple of years of settling into the area.
