The future

Well
As the year comes to a close it's time to reflect on what has gone and what is to come
We have had  success in gradings with a new yondan sandan and ikkyu
And also picked up a medel in the national championships.
We had good representation at the BKA and European jikiden seminars but,
Our numbers have fallen somewhat in the Dojo  this is to be expected in the arts that we practice
Our Dojo leader is now Wayne Edgar and Dojo secretary Rob Sidoli,
 these are the organising Group together with Hugh Carroll
 I have placed my trust in there judgment regarding the running of Minato Dojo's.

Next year we have got the high grade seminar with a EKF grading in the spring
The summer BKA seminars in Bath a new venue hopefully a new chapter will be written in the BKA history of seminar,
Also Oshita and Morita Sensei will be staying on after the BKA event and will be hosting the 2014
Jikiden friendship seminar in the North East of England,
And most important we have out trip to the land of the rising sun in November.
Those of you who take your Budo journey seriously and practise diligently may I thank you for your continued support.
