Lancashire Aikikai Newsletter January 1980

I wish to all members a Happy and Prosperous New Year. We feel that due to the fact that our clubs are spread over a wide area, we have set out four ordinary Sunday courses, this way we are able to co-ordinate and bring all members of Lancashire Aikikai on the mat, hoping that a higher standard of practice will lead to a better understanding of Aikido throughout the organisation.

It is beneficial to practice and be taught by different people from all walks of life, thus achieving a more open minded attitude.

There will be four other courses on Saturday afternoons for teachers.

These courses will be only for Aikidoists from 2^nd Kyu and above.

After attending the four courses there will be an examination for teachers certificates.
