50th Steveston Kendo Tournament

[Mr Yellow]

This coming Saturday we will be having our 50th Steveston kendo tournament! I hear many of clubs are attending and the competition will be very fierce.

So who's coming from this forum?

Thanks,

[JSchmidt]

I'll be there.

I was at the 2010 steveston tourny, it was a great time. I wish I could go to the 50th it would be great. Good luck everyone who does get to go. It is well worth the trip just to watch the great kendo.
