Northeast
Road Trip - May 10 |
|
The Spring Northeast road trip will take place at the
Mt. Airy Casino Resort, Mt. Pocono, PA, on Saturday, May 10, 2008 from 11:30 am until 2:00 pm. Weather permitting, we will train on the 18th hole Green which sits on
a lake and is surrounded by sand traps for Nihanchi kata. The pro shop will be open for bathrooms and
changing and a light lunch will be served after the workout for anyone needing nourishment before their ride back. The Grand Ball Room has been reserved in the event of rain. Domo arigato gozaimasu to
Sensei Chris Barnes for
making the numerous arrangements for this workout..
Although Northeast Road Trips are intended to be simple half-day conferences in high-caliber training, there are many opportunities for participants to enjoy the area's attractions. Feel free to make this a weekend getaway for you and your family.
