Congratulations Neil

A very big CONGRATULATIONS  to Neil Quigley on the acquisition of his 5th dan – after many years of dedicated training and for being such a strong and essential part of the workings of the dojo: preparations for seminars, caring for injured visitors, collections at the door, instructing, hosting socials, and even accommodating senseis in his home for weekends. So, thank you, Neil, for all your generous and kind assistance over the many years – it has not gone unnoticed
