The 2005 Chojinkai Residential Course held at Benidorm, Spain

The summer course in Spain was a roaring success and an awful lot of fun as the pictures below show... Someone told me that the summer course was a week of intensive training, but I think thats not all that the course is about with exellent views, good food and wine and plenty of time to soak up the sun. Everyone seems to have had a great week. To top it all off, some of the students attending the summer course managed to earn themselves a new belt, passing the end of course grading with flying colours.

The gradings were awarded (from left to right) to Helen Elliott Brown Stripe, Leonie Wiggin 2nd Kyu, Amy Kirkbride 1st Dan, Doug James, Steven Elliott Junior 1st Dan, Rachel Deveraux 2nd Kyu and Karen Peet 3rd Kyu. Congratulations to you all., we hope you are all looking forward to next year.
