20th Anniversary Calendar 2018
Please note the change of venue for many of our events due to the unavailability of our usual venue in Wythenshawe. They will be held at Stretford Sports Village (in the new build in the grounds of the School, NOT at the Sports Centre itself), Stretford, Manchester, M32 0XA.
Two spaces will be used for our events;
Large events (Open courses etc.) - The SSV Sports Hall
Small Events (Dan Gradings/Senior grade courses/Meetings) - The SSV Dance Studio
Please also note the following important statement from Denis Casey Sensei:
"This year is a very important year for us (the 20th Anniversary). Please help us celebrate in style by getting as many as possible on the courses. I look forward to celebrating with everyone at the celebration Dinner/Dance in December.”
