Poland March 2005

“Plenty of warm clothing" was the message, as Linda Marchant and myself descended into Warsaw airport. I could now see why, with temperatures of minus 6c and the countryside covered in a blanket of snow, it was just like those Christmases of bygone years.

We were met by two of the representatives of the Wroclaw Dojo, there are about 8 Dojo's in Poland practising IOGKF Goju - Ryu, and of course as with all new countries there are always teething problems. However, after a fruitful meeting a date was tentative date was made for my next visit to Poland to conduct a Gasshuku in either September or October in Bydgoszcz . As ever everyone will be welcome.

My special thanks to the people that made this trip possible
