Lancashire Aikikai

APRIL 1988

Sunday 8^th May

A grading will be held at Chorley starting 2.00 pm; this is for those who presently hold 4^th Kyu and are seeking higher grades. The intention is to free normal courses from the constraints of having gradings at their end to enable more practice time. Similarly gradings upto and including 4^th Kyu should be conducted within the local club. Those who fulfil the minimum requirements of hours and course attendance may present themselves.

No spectating is allowed and only participants are required. Dan grades will attend to assist.

To refresh your minds the hours are:-

40 hours	6^th Kyu
50 hours	5^th Kyu
60 hours	4^th Kyu
70 hours	3^rd Kyu
80 hours	2^nd Kyu
1 year	1^st Kyu
1* year	1^st Dan

based on 3 practices per week

The course requirements is a minimum of two general courses between each grade.

The fees for grading are:-

6^th to 4^th Kyu	£12
3^rd and 2^nd Kyu	£3
1^st Kyu	£5
Dan Grades	£10
