The day for the area seminar has been set as 'Sunday 18th Nov'. I will need confirmation (& payment from those who don't pay monthly) by *next Wed* (7th) at the absolute latest.

Most people are not ready to grade, but should go to the seminar anyway if possible. There is only one per year in Wirral and you should really do two - the next one will probably be in Wirral but the one after that will probably be in Leeds. As this one is Bolton (near Manchester) its nearer.

I have room in my car if anyone needs a lift, however you'll be stuck there the whole day if you come with me! There may be other people who you can share a lift with, let me know if you need me to ask around.

(The seminar is a lesson with a 7th or 8th Dan Master, 2 hours for adults & over 13's and 1 hour for children. Once you get to blue belt only the Masters can grade you - meet them all beforehand so you know what to expect!)
