***Timetable for week available, click to view.***

Summer school is almost here and we're gradually filling up on spaces so if you're interested in coming along please BOOK as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!

Booking early also helps the people who spend time organising the week from spending too much time on the organisation whilst we're at Radley and more time on training and enjoying themselves.

Summer school is not limited by grade and is highly recommended for students at all levels and abilities. The large amount of training that can be had during the week really helps to push on students and help them see noticable rewards in terms of ability/confidence in their training.

As well as the training there will also be some swimming, some archery, the annual NAF meal and the all important 'networking' with the locals at the Bowyers Arms of an evening!

If you've any questions/concerns/doubts as to whether summer school is for you please either ask someone who has been before, post your thoughts on the forum or drop us an email at the dojo contact email address.

It's not far away and is looking to be another great year!

Dan Prep Rescheduled and News
27/04/2010
The May Dan preparation course (scheduled for the last weekend in May) has been pushed back into the first weekend in June so as not to clash with people who have bank holiday plans.

The Rotary MA Festival is getting closer, please book your tickets if you are planning on coming as it will allow the organisers to better arrange the day in the most efficient way in terms of provisioning space with the university. As a charity event it would be good to have a large turn out to support both the club and the causes. Online booking is available on the main site for the festival - here.

Summerschool is also looming larger on the horizon and booking is open. If you've not arranged time off commitments to attend and booked your place I'd recommend doing it as soon as possible, we only have a limited number of rooms available each year and every year it's been getting more popular! If demand were significantly over capacity we could potentially look to arranging more rooms etc but only if we know in advance that we will need to. It also makes it easier for the organisers to arrange the event with the school so that everyone gets a smooth week.

Please check out the Diary page for more details of dates and links to information.
