Aikikai Newsletter retyped by Brian McGahey
Sunday 8th May
A grading will be held at Chorley starting 2.00 pm; this is for those who presently hold 4th 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 4th 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.
