Please be advised that the 4th Kyu to 3rd Dan gradings will be held this Sunday at Kenshikan, 91 Rosslyn Street, West Melbourne.
Rosslyn Street comes off King Street and is about 3 blocks north of Latrobe Street, where Melbourne Central is situated. It is approximately a 20 minute walk. Please be advised that Flagstaff Station will not be open on Sunday. You should all know where Kenshikan is located by now anyway.
Gradings shall operate in ascending order commencing at 1pm sharp. It is thus imperative that candidates arrive and be dressed at least half an hour before 1pm, at which point registration begins. The doors will be opened at midday.
The grading panel requires volunteers to assist with organizational tasks throughout the day. If you wish to volunteer and you are not a grading candidate, please arrive at Kenshikan at midday.
All candidates for Kyu grades are to fill in a grading form to be found on the documents page of this website. Please fill out the form neatly and appropriately; in particular, please write $25 in the field "Examination fee included with this appliation:". The club will be providing a subsidy such that all members need only pay a $10 grading fee; the club shall cover the rest. Grading Cards are not applicable this year so please ignore that section.
Candidates for Dan grades are subject to special subsidies - please see Tom.
All forms and payments are to be handed to Vincci no later than Wednesday 17th.
As you may or may not know, there will be a grading held on Sunday, the 28th of May and it will be testing for 4th Kyu to 3rd Dan. Members who graded earlier this year can not grade again.
The VKR requires approximate numbers to assist them in organizing and conducting the gradings. To that effect, may I ask that all those who wish to grade please email me back on kendo@musa.net.au with your name and current grade, please. If you are unsure as to whether you want to grade or not, email me back anyway.
Please email your details before midday this Friday the 5th.
[Anthony's Edit]: The grading form is available online in the Documents section.
