• To the members of Hallamshire Aikido Club; a message from the club's founding instructor, Steven Newton:

  Dear Friends

  I have recently been looking back through a few things and discovered that Hallamshire Aikido Club is 15 years young!

  It was started in the February of 1994 with the first lesson having 17 students and the second dropping to just 12.

  I never imagined that the Aikido club would stay firm for so many years and although I have moved away from the area I often have fond memories of the dojo.

  Your dedication to Aikido is what makes your club strong and keeps the doors open

  Wishing you all at least another 15 years of health and happiness.

  Steve Newton
  Founding instructor of H.A.C.
