5th March 2007 - Bridgnorth Curry Night

Our Ji Gen Kan dojo at Bridgnorth are having another Curry Night on Thursday 29th March 2007. Usual form, excellent practice followed by equally excellent food! All are welcome to come along and hopefully we won't shut the restaurant down this time! Contrary to popular belief, it wasn't because of the Sedgley bunch...

...the restaurant staff got scared by the Lesser Spotted Great Bearded Chutney Monster...


1st March 2007 - Special Class Friday 27th April

Many of you will have attended classes on Friday evenings taken by Mr William Smith Shihan, most enjoyable practice followed by cheese cobs and his favourite pork pie! We've decided that in his memory we shall continue the tradition by holding a class on Friday 27th April, to be followed by some food and drink in the music room at Westfield School dojo in Wombourne. Everyone is most welcome, all we ask is that you contribute a couple of pounds or so just to cover the cost. Hope to see you there!
