If you’re planning on attending the club camp this weekend at O kains bay please go to the camp office on arrival and register. The booking is under Kerry Aikido club. Do not make a payment as we pay at end of the weekend for the whole group to get a discount. The first campers for the weekend have already arrived and have set up at riverside of the camp.
The weather forecast at the beginning of this week was good but has changed to average so hopefully it changes back again to good.

Good morning. Just a heads up.
Looks like a big event is on at ARA Gym and car park is really full at the moment. You may need extra time to get to the dojo this morning.
