At the time of posting , due to the Easter holiday we are unable (at present) to use the venue on Easter Monday (5 April) as it is closed to the public. We are however searching for an alternative venue in order to offer a third day of practice on the Monday. If this goes ahead it will be 3 hours weapons practice split in to either two 1 ½ hour or three 1 hour sessions.
Cost: Fees for Saturday and Sunday are £30 per day or £10 per Keiko. (so if you do a whole day – 4 Keiko’s – you get four for the price of three) excluding the special Keiko which is an additional £10. Monday’s practice is £20 for the full 3 hours or part thereof.
If you take part in all sessions, including the special keiko your fees will be £90.
All participant will need to provide evidence of insurance when registering. If you are taking part in the weapons keiko’s then you will need your own bokken and jo.
Accommodation: there are plenty of options in and around Caerphilly, however as this is Easter weekend we advise that you make your arrangements early to avoid disappointment!
We’ve added a new Special Offers page where we will feature special deals throughout the year.
The deal for January is for two people to come along and train and only one mat fee is charged! So a Buy One Get One Free deal. Come along next Tuesday and/or Thursday.
After 18 happy years at Spelthorne School of Gymnastics’s hall behind Brooklands College in Ashford, we’re moving to the hall at Staines and Laleham Sports and Leisure (SALSAL).
SALSAL is a 7 Hectare/17 acre site located between Staines Town Centre and Laleham Village. The club is home to Staines Hockey Club, Staines and Laleham Cricket Club and Laleham Archery Club.
Training will still be on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8pm-10pm
We’ll be moving on 11th August 2009.
Directions:
From The M25 - Junction 13:
Take the A30 towards Staines/London. At the Crooked Billet roundabout, head towards Staines Town Centre (this is a nightmare junction, traffic lights on a roundabout!). Go straight across the first set of traffic lights, then left at the second set. Go straight across the next roundabout, approximately half a mile away, then right at the next one just after the parade of shops. This is Worple Road. Carry on down for approximately half a mile, the entrance to the club is through a gateway, about 75 metres back from the T junction at the end of Worple Road.
From Sunbury Cross - Junction 1 of the M3:
Head towards Staines from the Sunbury Cross, down the dual carriageway. Go straight across each set of traffic lights, then turn left at the first roundabout you come to, which is approximately two miles from Sunbury Cross. Turn right at the mini-roundabout (about 50 metres on), then keep going for about one mile - straight across the traffic lights to the third mini-roundabout. Turn left at this roundabout, you are in Worple Road. Carry on down for approximately half a mile, the entrance to the club is through a gateway, about 75 metres back from the T junction at the end of Worple Road.
From Staines Bridge (Chertsey/Egham side):
Go across the bridge and turn right at the lights. Get into the right hand lane to head towards Laleham. Keep going down the Laleham Road for approximately one mile. About 150 metres past the Threshers Off Licence (on the right hand side), there’s a mini-roundabout next to a pub (The Anglers Retreat). Turn left and you are now in Worple Road. About 75 metres down on the right hand side, is the gateway into SALSAL.
