| I would like to thank the Bournemouth members for showing a great display on the course. Sensei Steve L was very impressed with everyone and feels we are all moving in the right direction. Also an excellent effort in the grading and well done to Ralf for passing his 8th Kyu and with a very impressive display Sunday passing his Black Belt, with flying colours. |
