Hullo everyone, I hope you don't mind me using this medium for this info but my next door neighbour's friend is cycling the length of South America for charity. Please everyone spread the word and if you can make a wee donation so much the better. I know it will be appreciated, a quid or two is enough but if you can afford more then fill yer boots.   Its for a good cause and I've provided a link for you to check out what he is doing.

Hi All up-date of the progress being made at  glenrothes martial arts centre we now have new heaters in both dojos

Next target is to get more mats and improve the ones we have

Simon Rimmington is coming up in june will post dates and times and costs ASAP

Cheers David Mcnab hope to see you all soon

A little late I know, but Dave McNab gave me stack of photos he took at the December 2006 seminar with Sensei Simon Rimmington.

I've created an album in the photo gallery and uploaded roughly twenty photos into it.

The following will be held at the new Glenrothes Ju-Jitsu Club (Martial Arts Centre, Alburne Park, Glenrothes)

After the kyu grading on Sunday there was a SJJS club instructor meeting, and the following as discussed;

• The SJJS will increase its annual membership fees; £25 for new members and £20 for renewals. The proceeds from the price hike will go to fund costly events like seminars.
• Some clubs will be increasing their session price from £3 to £5. The increase is due to increased cost of hiring rooms at the venues and the fact that a couple of the SJJS clubs have been running at loss for the last couple of years. The Glenrothes Club will be the first club to increase their prices and the others may follow. Check with your club instructor for more details.
• The Aberdeen Club is progressing with their membership into the SJJS and WJJF. Frank has got his qualification recognised by the WJJF and others will follow shortly.
• A seminar with Simon Rimington in early December is currently be organised by John McNab. The current intension is for Simon to present a one day seminar, probably a Saturday. The location and exact dates will be announced nearer the time.
• The next Kyu grading has been scheduled for the first week of December. Again, the exact dates will be announced nearer the time.
• Archie Higgins has some SJJS posters that can be used to promote clubs. Contact Archie, Club Instructors or me if you can think of a suitable spot where we can advertise the SJJS and its clubs.
• Finally well done to everyone who passed the kyu gradings at the weekend.

Late notification that due to Glenrothes Road Running Festival Sunday Class cancelled.

For those that indicated a trip to Aberdeen on Friday 23rd June a class has been organised.  I will contact Stuart/Gary by telephone (hopefully I can find the numbers) for location details.
