This year is the twentythird annual Guelph Spring Seminar and the 26th anniversary of the SeiDoKai itself (yes we missed the 25th, what a surprise) so we'd like to see all our old friends again. This year as always we bring you a truly outstanding group of instructors.

When you look at the registration form you'll find that we've kept the rates low for students (those in school) and a bit higher for those of us who are in the workforce. Please note we've also kept a steep penalty for those who pay "at the door" in an attempt to get you folks to pre-register and reduce my ulcer production. Not everyone has lots of spare cash so you may opt to pay the non-refundable deposit only and give us the balance when you get here. By the way, we haven't raised prices in quite a long time and that's because each year we have had enough extra participants to pay for the increased expenses. Big hand for yourselves! That's the way it's supposed to work.Don't forget to make time for all our extracurricular activities, especially the Saturday night party, the auction is always a hoot even if you aren't bidding. You are all our guests for this event. As usual, we do expect you all to spend at least the amount of your meal during the auction.

This year we'd like to continue one of our most popular pricing deals so get those beginners out, we're offering the 6 FOR 5 DEAL again! Get 5 pre-registrations together from your club and bring sensei for free! Call for details! Speaking of instructors, we have so many of you now please note that for the Friday evening "Iaido Instructors Class" you should bring a notebook and pen. It is very likely that anyone less than 5dan will be told to watch and make notes. We are NOT going to do the class in a larger gym, this is for dojo leaders to get the latest information, we're there to listen. Incidentally, in the interests of keeping the numbers down, the Friday evening class is not part of the 6 for 5 deal, and there are no discounts for standing rather than swinging a sword. We really don't want to start rank-limiting the class so please understand this folks. Pre-register for these classes, we will be taking attendance.

Looking forward to seeing all the old faces and many new ones as well.

Kim.
