Three items of news:

The Saturday class which was due to take place on 9th April has been cancelled due to Stuart flying to China on that day. The concensus at the recent Wednesday class was that, having had two classes in March, we would be unlikely to attract sufficient people to make a class viable

We now have a new publicity team. Sue Dixon, ably assisted by Andrea Snow, are taking over as publicity secretaries. Many thanks go to them for taking on this role

We appreciate that this year there have been substantially more changes to the workshops timetable as usual. To help ensure that you have the most up-to-date information regarding workshops and Wednesday classes, we are launching today an online workshops diary, which is can be accessed via the new Classes & Workshops button above. The online diary - also available in a print-friendly format - will contain up-to-date information about these sessions. The downloadable diary will no longer be regularly updated - we urge you to check the online diary regularly for any updates to timetabled sessions

20 January 2011

AGM - this will take place on Wednesday 9th February in Thirsk Town Hall, starting at 8pm. This means the regular meeting will be shortened to one hour. Please attend if you can as your input to the group is welcomed

22 December 2010

New DVD - a DVD of Sue demonstrating her Autumn Form and the Old Un-named Form is now available to members at £8, non members £10. It is intended to act as an aide-memoire to those who have attended classes, rather than actively teaching the form. To order a copy contact Judith Wood - judith.wood@valeofyork-qigong.co.uk

Amendments to grading requirements - It was decided by the committee in line with suggestions from Master Alan Box that for all future gradings, students will not be able to carry accumulated time forward, but just count practice hours with a qualified instructor since their last grading. There should be a minimum of 40 hours for students, 50 hours for instructors/trainees. An updated copy of the grading application form is available from the Documents page

27 September 2010

A few changes have been made to the remaining workshops in 2010. The location for the remaining workshops is now the Village Hall at Sutton under Whitestonecliffe. Additionally, the October grading now takes place slightly earlier starting at 9am. Please download a copy of the updated diary card from the Documents page

Workshops for 2011, and the Tariff card are also available to download from the Documents page

With effect from Wednesday 21st April 2010 the weekly fee for the Wednesday class will rise to £5. This is the first increase since the Association was formed and will help offset the rising costs of room hire and the Saturday classes/workshops
