All current QKR members should be aware that the Saturday session of the QKR summer seminar will be dedicated to running the State Championships. Tamura sensei has requested that formal applications to compete in Juniors, Women’s Kyu, Men’s Kyu, Men’s Dan and Women’s Dan be submitted no later than 30 November so that appropriate planning regarding competition pools can be completed.
Additionally, the forms and fees for grading applications in Kendo, Iaido and Jodo need to be submitted no later than Sunday 24 November (two weeks before the grading). Remember that for Kendo and Iaido, you need me to sign off on the form before it is submitted to the QKR, so we need to allow sufficient time to do this.
Thanks for your attention to both of these deadlines. I will be again discussing them in class this week coming.
