New Saturday training venue
Sensei Bell has now secured improved training facilities for Saturday’s regular club training. Classes will now be held in the Cregagh Comunity Centre (same venue as Sunday classes, but in the larger main hall). We’ve also been given use of large training mats which means we can expect to focus more on throws, take-downs and ground-work in the class. Due to availability, the class times will be moved to 14:30.
New training venues
Due to the recent and unexpected closure of the Robinson Centre, Sensei Bell has arranged new training venues for weekly classes until further notice:
Saturday
Time: 11:00 to 12:00
Venue: Clonduff Centre (directly behind the Robinson Centre)
Sunday
Time: 14:00 to 15:00
Venue: Cregagh Community Centre
