Dear All,
Re: The South East Trident Tournament – 11/04/09
2009 sees the beginning of the annual South East Trident Tournament, and Shim’s Way Jujitsu Club invites you to its Dojo as the first hosts. This competition is open to both Juniors and Seniors of all the clubs. Here are the important details.

Date: Saturday 11th April 2009
Time: Competition 10am-4pm, Buffet and awards 4pm-6pm
Entry costs: Competitors £15, Spectators £5 (these costs include the buffet.)
This pack includes all the material for the competition including:

· Entry forms to be sent to the above address (or access the forms online at www.shimsway-jujitsu.co.uk and send to the above email address)

Due to the distance that some competitors may have to travel, we have proposed to start the competition at 10am, but if you would prefer to stay in the area, here is the website for Premier Inn, the nearest being at Folkestone or Dover (www.premierinn.com).
We hope that this first year will be a great success and the start of many more to come.
Yours Sincerely,
