On Wednesday June 4th we will be making a club road trip to visit Glen Pitcher Sensei at Musubi Dojo in Bowmanville, and train with his students. Anyone, any grade including beginners is welcome. Leave Peterborough around 6pm, training from 7.30pm to 9.30pm, return after a bite to eat and a drink with his club. Please let me know if you would like to come so we can arrange car-pooling.

Thanks,

Andy.
