Anybody know anything about Bristol Kendo Club? Tried to e-mail the sensei that is listed on the BKA site, but it's come back twice, apparently not working anymore.

I've read on a couple other sites online that it still exists, but I was wondering what the new contact is, and when they meet.

What are you doing in Bath, KhawMeng? School or work?

I might be at Bristol Uni doing a Masters in Economics, Finance and Management.

Okay, I've gotten some more concrete info. I e-mailed a guy who's doing his PhD at Bristol Uni and he's gone to the Bristol Kendo Club a couple of times.

Apparently the BKC practices at St. George's School now, which is on Queen's Parade, near Bristol Uni. They only have one practice a week on Tuesdays, from 7-10pm. I'm trying to get a working e-mail from him for the sensei or another contact in the club to get more info.

Yup, its real. Here I am in Bath and I've managed to call Mr A. Harding about Bristol Kendo club and its all kosher.

Training is at the exact time and place you listed Titus. I'll be heading there to train next week...report to follow.

Good to see you IRL, and look forward to practicing with you again.

Good to know that when you finally meet someone from KW Forums they aren't necessarily completely barking mad. I was beginning to wonder lately.

Hopefully you'll manage to come to London on weekday evenings sometime and sample our other kendo/dojo/beer combinations.
Our main dojo is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays, let me know if you can make it sometime.

James :cool2:
