Wednesdays 2100-2230, and
Saturdays 1200-1400.

On Saturdays members of the uni gym are allowed to bring guests, which means that if any TSDK members would like to come along, you are welcome to do that. We are in the big hall, so there is plenty of space. Entry fee is £3.75.

Our history with the Kelvinhall is as follows


Club has been in the Kelvinhall for over 10 years
We were instrumental in bringing the European championships in 1996 and the WKC in 2003
We pay over 5000 pa
We have members from 6 countries 3/5 major religions
We have 3 juniors in the GB national team and 4 out the 5 5th degree black belts in Scotland including 3 former national champions


Our only requirement is a decent floor

The Mission statement of the Kelvinhall is to provide a world class venue and support sport in glasgow. Haha.

We were given 2 weeks notice, effectively 1 session due to subsequent cancellations. Their "management" knew about this for at least 1 month as we did not receive a renewal of let notice 5 weeks before the current let ends.

Their decision was to lose the club with the above history or fix the floor. They chose the former.

I have to ask who is the Kelvinhall run for the benefit of? Certainly not participants in sport in Glasgow.?

I have organised an alternative venue at Bellahouston and will be taking this further with senior "management" at the Kelvinhall and beyond as required.

Question is - when one of the the teachers tells you to take it easy because you is just back - what does that mean - how do you take it easy in Kendo without a) missing opportunities b) showing zanshin c) looking like someone who follows football instead of rugby ;-) ?

I only ask because I am quite fond of my rotator cuff..... and job.... and throwing young children in the air... ( my own ! )]]>

Greetings from Summer Kendo Camp in Poland! We've got Suzuki-sensei 7th dan as teacher and his teachings are very interesting so far. Practices are INTERESTING and sometimes I feel TIRED but hey, who cares about bleeding hands and black arms. Our worst enemies are flies but fortunately they are quickly dropping dead on our dojo floor . I wonder why?
Local people watch us with sympathy - they probably haven't seen people with so many bandages on them yet.

We have kata at 6.30 am tomorrow AND a party tonight so I'm not going to write much more - for detailed review (and maybe some pictures) you will have to wait till I will come back... and rest.

BTW Gerry - you have greetings from Kustosz-sensei, who told me he knows you. He also told me YOU should remember him from some high-grades meeting. Do you? ;)]]>

My position on this is;


The EC must have an electoral advisor from ZANU PF in on this one. Authority like virginity can only be lost once and can only be reinstated via surgery.To void an election on the grounds that the a candidate was guilty of electioneering is absurd and is analogous to handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500.

This is the first time a postal ballot has been implemented by the EC - good job guys!

A device designed to enfranchise the entire membership has had precisely the opposite effect. A postal ballot is a reasonable choice for the election to a senior position in the EC as the result does affect us all. As most of us have a life/work/family outside Kendo and because of the geographically disparate nature of Dojo location in the UK it is very difficult to attend meetings as there is no such thing a a central location.

This process has had a number of directions which require explanation. One member of the EC even had the result sent to him by "mistake" - then all of a sudden the rules change. This kind of behaviour by an EC relies on a supine membership who will lie back at take it - whatever it is. It seems clear to me that whatever the position further obstacles would be put in place of Paul's candidacy.

The BKA outlook address book has been hacked before as members have received Spam Kendo based emails subsequent to submitting their email address to the BKA database.

I believe this is a step too far and requires an EGM. At the very least the decision as stated in the BKA letter to Paul has to be overturned. I would go further to state that the current EC is unfit to make decisions on behalf of the membership.
