August 2011

The club website is currently undergoing a revamp, the essential pages are up, but still to have photos added, the rest of the site will be up and running by the end of August.

If anyone has any photos from training courses, gradings, please email them over to me at Telfordwadoryu@aol.com and I will get them added to the site.

Also please can everyone check that their licence in in date, let us know if you need a renewal form.

July was a good month all round for all our members who undertook their relevant gradings, success throughout I am pleased to say. Thank you to Sensei Frank Johnson for attending our club and overseeing the grading.

Unfortunatly there is a great lost within the Wado community with the passing of Master Tatsuo Suzuki in July 2011. Those of us who have had the honor to meet and train with Master Suzuki I am sure will remember him greatly and will all cherish our memories of the great Master he was and forever will be. I have updated the Wado page to give you more information on Sensei Suzuki.
