The Club Championships, Saturday [be ready 1pm]
The Club Championships are this Saturday.

Shinai check and registration commences at 1pm, and competition starts at 2pm, sharp.

**Please be dressed and ready by 1pm - it would be optimal to arrive around 12:45pm.**


Please make sure that you maintain your shinai before the competition. A customary shinai check will be held before the competition to ascertain the quality of your shinai. Shinai in poor condition are hazardous and will not be allowed; if you don't have any passable shinai, you won't be able to compete.

If anyone would like to help set up before the event, your help will be greatly appreciated. Please arrive at 11:30am.

The draws were attached to the email that has been circulated.





The end of semester dinner will be held at Ito on Bourke Street afterwards at 6:30pm. Please make sure you have paid - it is $17 per person.

We can still accept some more people for the dinner. If you would like to come, please reply by email asap.

Upcoming Events: Club Championships, End of Year Dinner, and Paintball

A number of events will be happening once the uni exams finish:

1. UMKC Club Championship, Saturday 29th of November, 11am - 5pm

2. End of Year Dinner, Saturday 29th of November, ~7:30pm (following Club Championship)

3. Paintball Excursion, Sunday 7th of December

--------------------------------------

1. UMKC Club Championship, Saturday 29th of November, 11am - 5pm

You are invited to compete in the annual University of Melbourne Club Championship, to be held in the West Stadium. Divisions will include:

- Junior Kyu Championship (First year's tournament)

- Senior Kyu Championship

- Dan Championship (numbers permitting)

The event is free of charge.

***If you would like to compete in the UMKC Club Championship, please send your entry to enquiriesATumkcDOTorgDOTau with your name, grade, and the year you started kendo. Alternatively, you may write your name down on the Club Championship list at training. DEADLINE for all entries will be Wednesday 19th of November.***

Everyone is encouraged to compete, especially all juniors. Even if you are unsure about your skill, this will be a valuable event to take part in as you will experience first hand what it is like to compete in a real kendo competition; it will be an important lesson that people don't experience that often and your kendo skills will improve afterwards.

2. End of Year Dinner, Saturday 29th of November, ~7:30pm

Immediately following the Club Championship will be the UMKC end of year dinner. A venue will be decided and further details will come soon, but we are taking names now. The price per person will be $17.

***If you would like to attend the End of Year Dinner, please write your name down on the Dinner List at kendo. DEADLINE for names will be Wednesday 19th of November.***
