Great news for Gracie Barra Guernsey
June 18, 2009
Gracie Barra Guernsey have moved to a different venue, the Kings Club Leisure Centre. We are training on the old mats for now, but hopefully not for long.We are currently working with the local Judo club with organizing the venue. The centre is hopefully going to invest £80k on a purpose built dojo for us!! We have already started getting sponsorship from different places to buy our own new mats (about £6k worth).
If everything goes to plan it’s going to be an amazing venue!! we’ll have access to gym, sauna, pools, bar and restaurant!!.
Sessions are changing to Mondays 7-9, Wednesday 7-9, Fridays 6-8 and
Saturday morning (time still being worked out).
