In talking to a number of the other upper blue cords recently, it seems that
there are a number of us intending to go for red cord in the coming examinations
(specifically Aug, Oct & Dec). It also appears that a lot of us need to get
things marked off but need more review on certain parts of the rank book.

So, in talking to Cheridah today, we hatched a plan for a Blue Cord study group
that will run once a week. We've gotten the ok from Devon to run from 7pm on
alternating Fridays (due to instructor training) and may also look at a session
following class on Saturdays, depending on people's schedules.

In terms of content, we were thinking to pick a section of the red cord book and
go through it for about an hour to make sure everyone has it down, followed by
40 min of fighting one another to help build endurance for the long fight
section. I'd also like to do a short review of the previous week's subject since
a number of items must be demonstrated on exam day, so remembering them is
important! All in all, each session would probably run about 2 hours I think.

As I mentioned earlier, we're looking for folks who are looking to go for red
cord this year and who have gone through the mastery class rotation at least
once.

Anyway, let me or Cheridah know if you are interested in getting involved and if
the times work for you. We're going to have the first session this Friday, July
3rd, and start moving through the content.

Have a great Canada Day!
