Bristol Quarterstaff Training: 27 November 2010

There will be a half-day quarterstaff training event in Bristol on Saturday 27th November. For beginners and those with some experience.

Time: 10 am to 1 pm.

Location: under the M32 flyover at J3 Eastville (the section north of the roundabout, parallel with Stapleton Road). It is dry under there and surprisingly quiet. If the weather is good we can go across the road to the park.

Bring a staff if you have one, but if you don't, a staff will be provided.

Cost: a contribution of £5 to the British Quarterstaff Association.

Please let Chris Gilchrist know (quarterstaff@hotmail.co.uk or 07966 514011) if you plan to come. If enough people are interested, we can organise a regular monthly group.
