Philippe Voarino 2008

We are delighted to host a course once again with Philippe Voarino, 6th Dan.

Philippe will be with us from 29th October to 2nd November 2008, offering a weekend course on the 1st and 2nd November.

Sessions from the 29th to 31st October are by invitation only.

Following the success of last year's course, we anticipate that this year's event will be equally popular. Numbers must be strictly limited, so we would like to ask that those interested in attending register as early as possible, using the form below, in order to avoid disappointment.
