Well, that's another Summer Gasshuku complete - I hope everyone improved
their Karate, had a great time, and made some new friends or renewed old
friendships.

Congratulations to Moyo, Martin, and Tim, the top three finishers in
this year's Monday-morning 3km race. Kudos also to those particularly
tough Dan grading test candidates (Josephine, Jane, and Hiro) who not
only completed all eight workouts, but also completed the four-hour
grading test and participated in the run.

It's a lot of work to organize and run Gasshuku, and thanks to Joanne
and all of the meal captains for their work. Special mention to those
meal captains who had never before attended Gasshuku, but volunteered
nonetheless. Thanks also to Chris and Gary for their Saturday emergency
bathroom cleanup, and to Ingrid for her tireless work cleaning and
pitching in whenever and wherever necessary.

And finally, thanks to Tominaga Sensei for all of his instruction, at
camp and throughout the year.

Next year's Summer Gasshuku (July 30-August 1, 2005) will mark Tominaga
Sensei's 35th year instructing at the University of Toronto Karate Club.
Keep that weekend open, and hope to see everyone there.

Train hard.
