Farewell keiko for Simon tomorrow

A reminder that this Saturdays’ keiko at Balmian will be Simons last before he and Rina move to Melbourne. Simon has been a very solid supporter of Ryde dojo, often rearranging his own arrangements to teach classes when needed. He will be surely missed at both Ryde and Balmain dojos. Please try to come along and wish them all the best for their move. There will be, of course, post-keiko brunch, probably at Simons place in Ashfield. If you can stick around and give an hour or so of your tie it will be appreciated.

Hope to see you there! 🙂
