YSSKU UK Events Calendar 2020
The venue for many of the 2020 calendar events are again at Stretford Sports Village (in the new build in the grounds of the School, NOT at the Sports Centre itself, it's called the Talbot Centre), Greatstone Road, Stretford, Manchester, M32 0XA. The entrance is to the left of Arnold Clark Vauxhall dealer.
Three spaces will be used for our events;
Large events (Open courses etc.) - The SSV Sports Hall
Small Events (Dan Gradings/Senior grade courses) - The SSV Dance Studio (upstairs and to the right)
Meetings (AGM & Exec Committee) - The Meeting Room (upstairs and to the left)
Note:
The venue listed above is to be used for many of our courses/seminars unless stated in a specific event entry (This may be subject to change and confirmation).
It is also been agreed that to start the Courses on time and get the most out of each session is for members to arrive ready to book in from 10:30am onwards. We will be booking people in and signing licences from that time onward either inside the door of the venue or upstairs on the balcony (TBC). If we can achieve this, then a prompt 11:00am start will ensure a small comfort break will be worked into the course by Denis Casey Sensei (his discretion based on eventual start time).
It’s up to you now to arrive early. Many Thanks.
