Summer School 2006


Well, we are all back from the 30th Anniversary Summer School in sunny Scarborough and what a week! It was sunny for most of the time, but thankfully it did not make the training any more hotter that usual.

Each day started with a run, this year most of the running was based around Oliver's Mount - usually running up it, then around it, down a bit, round a pond, back up a bit and then down to the start!

The training was, as ever excellent. Morag taking us through some Yogic type exercises first, then later John Russell taught us Ying Yang Boxing; a Tai Chi set with some nice explosive moves. All with a large dose of Lau Gar Stance sets, walking techniques, Andy Nations' 9 move kicking work and rounded off with Shaolin Stomps and Chi Gung.

As it was the 30th Summer School, there was a special Dinner Dance. Below is a group photo taken. (ps i dunno why I was looking the other way! sorry) You can see the weather was good by the colour we all got!




Once the days training was over, we made the most of the sun and used it as an opportunity to see the parts of the town we had not explored before. Below is a picture from our visit to Scarborough Castle.
