Tai Chi Caledonia

Sunday 18 July 2004 at 12:15 pm Over the past 9 years the UK's biggest multi-style camp has grown and developed in the heart of Scotland. Organised by Bob Lowey & Ronnie Robinson the 9th event took place in June and attracted more TCUGB members than ever before, which, in no small way, was due to the shared seminar by two of the TCUGB's founding members, namely Ian Cameron and Dan Docherty. With many first time attendees extolling the virtues of the week-long camp it is going from strength to strength. The 10th anniversary event in 2005 is already looking promising. http://www.taichicaledonia.com

However to post news I need to get it from the members so please send it to me.
