The new venue is in Buckhurst Hill, which is a much, much nicer area. Easy to get to and with ample and safe parking.

Most of the club members turned up for the first session, and the dojo got a good 'testing'. The lighting was good, but it was a little warm. Opening the windows helped and the rest of the session was better. Still some sweat though!

The key-holder opened up for us 15 minutes early and was on time to lock up.

Unfortunately Sue and I had to zoom off home, but the rest popped around the corner to the Pelly Club for a pint.

We are starting our first beginner's course on Tuesday September 22nd, when we hope we'll get a few extra members.

Visitors are naturally welcome at any time.
