On 24th and 25th October Chief Instructor John Robertson and Assistant Instructor Sharna Robertson
travelled up to Bury (Manchester) to attend the BZJFA Annual Budo Course.
This was the first time the course has been held at the Shiro-No Zen Judokwai in Bury and Sensei George Launders made everyone welcome.
