• Other toban notes:
  • If toban dojo wishes to specify another facility, please do so with enough time to announce at least 2 months in advance. However, if changing start time (must be between 10am to 3pm inclusive) or changing the day to Saturday, please announce at least 6 months in advance. This is so kenshi have sufficient warning to set their calendars. Refer to 2019 calendar for potential event conflicts.
  • If toban dojo needs to swap dates with another dojo, please arrange it between yourselves, then notify SCKF so the change can be announced and posted.
  • Bento for motodachi sensei:
    • budget is $150 total for refreshments and bento
    • if pre-ordering, assume 10 bento needed
    • if waiting to see how many motodachi are actually present that day, be sure to have someone not in bogu available to handle ordering and pickup
