STUDENT NATIONALS 2010!

March 17, 2010

Without doubt the Student Nationals is the biggest event in the Aikido Shodo Daigaku Year!
All the Universities with Shodokan Aikido Clubs join together for the biggest Student Aikido Competition in the country.
This year it is being hosted by the club at the University of Leeds with Club Instructor Justin Gallagher.
So on the weekend of the 17th and 18th of April we hope to see all our University of Sheffield members taking part. I am organising the team sheet of who will do which events. I will be entering all UoS members unless they tell me otherwise.
Please email me at aikido@sheffield.ac.uk or RSVP via our Facebook Event Page for more details or to tell me one way or the other if you are coming or not as soon as possible.
