Well once again it been too long since I made any posts, sorry. Thanks to Dion for the info on last week's class and thanks to Ko for adding in info as well.

Well its been hectic and there doesn't look like there is going to be any let up any time soon. Here's a quick rundown on what's been going on at GSW in the last few weeks.

We had a visitor from the US during the month. Sean Lynch dropped in to train on the same night that I sat out and did the Wellingtonian interview. With the timing of the interview I didn't get a real chance to interact with Sean and that a bit annoying for me as I love the opportunity to meet and roll with visitors from out of town. Any way Sean had a good time at GSW and it sounds like his NZ adventure went well.

Sean sent me this email this week.:
Geoff,

I lost your email address so I hope this email finds you somehow. Looks like you turned off the ability to comment on your blog, hopefully not due to lurkers like me :-). I lost my secret decoder ring and can't seem to view any of your archives either?

Anyhow, I just wanted to send a big thank you your way for helping secure me a gi and letting me jump on the mat while visiting your wonderful country. Sorry for kicking in your door and not giving you more notice on my arrival date. I had a great time and it was a good stress reliever from playing tour guide for my family. Looks like your interview that night made for a good article.

You've really got an impressive academy going on there. A nice group of people and some top notch instruction... or maybe it's just all the accents that sound so much more sophisticated ;-). My instructor has dreams of traveling to NZ one day, I'll have to send him your way if he goes.

Please come visit us if you're ever in Florida anytime. Will you or any of your students be going to compete in the Pan American's next year?

Thanks again and good training to you,
Sean



Thanks Sean, hope to catch up with you again one day.
