Schedule

The tentative class schedule is now available, but subject to change. Prof Musselman will also be teaching a Shinyo class on Sunday morning from 9:00 to 11:45 at the dojo. All Black Belts are welcome.

Photo

We will be taking a group photo after lunch on Saturday at about 1:15. We would like everyone to be available so we can record this wonderful event. The photo will be available for download from the Nibukikan web site (for free), or you can have the photo professionally printed and mailed to you via the Kodak Photo Center. More details will be published after the event.

Dinner

To help make this year's event more special, we are planning a group dinner at Woodstock's Pizza in downtown Chico. This will start about 7:00 pm. There is no pre-registration necessary and everyone will be responsible for their own dinner. We will make arrangements with the restaurant to hold a seating area and see if we can get a group discount.
