AMA INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.
Closing date for entries to Sensei John is THIS SATURDAY!
Saturday 28th Feb & Sunday 1st march. (2 DAY EVENT)
Forms are out at your clubs, I need names and payments by Sunday 1st Feb.
After our AGM meeting, it was decided by all instructors to add on £1.00 for SQUAD ONLY competitions where we have up to 6 coaches that travel to a competition to coach Shindo kai students. Some coaches have to pay their own entry as spectators and petrol costs, adding the extra £1.00 onto an entry will cover coaches expenses. When we get a large entry we need the help,  We are the envy of some associations with so many coaches, some have large squads and 1 coach for the day!
I hope everyone understands and willingly contributes the £1. This comp is a 2 day event.
