IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR AYR / NORTHFIELD MEMBERS

We have been informed this morning by Bowls Scotland that Northfield will be unavailable next week due to the British Championships taking place at the venue from Monday 22nd to Sunday 28th June.

As a result, Ayr / Northfield classes will not run next week.

The following week is also our planned summer break for Ayr / Northfield, as Sensei Liam will be away coaching the national team at the K1 Youth League.

We know this means Ayr / Northfield will be off for two weeks, but members are very welcome to train at other Senjokai dojos during this time.

WEEK 1
Monday 22nd to Sunday 28th June

Ayr / Northfield members can attend any suitable class at:

Maybole
Tarbolton
Troon
Beith
Symington
Cumnock
HQ Stewarton

WEEK 2
Week commencing Monday 29th June

Beith, Symington and HQ Stewarton will also be on summer break this week.

Members who still wish to train can attend:

Maybole
Tarbolton
Troon
Cumnock

Please check the full timetable here and attend the most suitable class for your age group and grade:
