the end of the year is approaching and it's time to look forward to 2012. Next year SHMS is hoping to see many new faces at the Jakomäki salle, as well as a bunch of old (and returning) ones, so here comes the essential information regarding training in January - March 2012.

As stated before, we have a bunch of seminars coming up, among them a one-day refresher course for returning students who wish to get up to speed on their longsword training. Active students are also welcome to come and train up their basics, but it's particularly useful to those who'd like to get quickly back into training. For those who prefer to take their time getting to know the material we have the beginners' course, during which you can of course also train in regular classes. Brave souls can just jump right in, you'll be looked after!

In addition to the beginner's course we are continuing the popular mini-courses: I.33 sword & buckler is confirmed for wednesdays in February, stay tuned for more.

As it is the end of the year, the membership and training fees are due by January 2nd. This has been a financially difficult year for SHMS, so we ask that members make their payments on time to ensure that we can get off to a good start. We also offer a new payment method for students who train infrequently: the 10 time card, which allows you to attend and pay for the classes of your choice. You can get this at the Jakomäki salle. Please look for the payment information below.

* * *

COURSES:

Beginners' course: 7.2. - 27.3., every tuesday 18.00 - 19.30
Refresher course for returning students: saturday 11.2., 11-17 (with lunch break)
I.33 mini course: 1.2. - 29.2., every wednesday 18.00 - 19.30

SEMINARS:

Spear and pollax: saturday 28.1., 11-17 (with lunch break)
Dagger: saturday 25.2., 11-17 (with lunch break)
Syllabus day: saturday 17.3., 11-17 (with lunch break), followed by the 11th birthday party of SES
Rapier: saturday 31.3., 11-17 (with lunch break)

* * *

PAYMENT INFORMATION:

All membership, training, seminar and course fees are paid to the SHMS account 101530-214903.

Use your personal bank reference number when paying a membership or training fee.
When paying for a weekend seminar, write which seminar you're paying for in the note section.
If you have lost your bank reference number, write what you are paying in the note section (for example "May-August 4 month training fee").

The unemployed, students and those under 18 receive a concession on fees.

- Beginners’ course 120 €, concessions 100 €. The membership fee of the present year is included.
- SHMS yearly membership fee 40 € (due 2nd of January), no concessions.
- 4 month training fee (January‒April, May‒August, September‒December) 210 €, concessions 130 € (due 2nd of month).
- 1 month training fee 60 €, concessions 40 € (due 2nd of month).

To address this, I think we should shift the Monday evening basic class to 7pm, and have a seniors class from 6-7. No warm-up, so come in time to loosen up, just an hour of developing more advanced skills, with as much individual coaching from me as we can squeeze in.
This will no doubt highlight imperfections in basic technique that can inform the content of the basic class that follows.
So, Mondays would go
1800-1900: intermediates and above (those not ready to join can watch, of course)
1900-20.30 basic class
20.30-21.00 warm-down, free training, etc.
