Victorian Kendo Championships 2021 Update!

A message from Michael Dunn, President of the VKR:
“Dear all,

The VKR is pleased to confirm that it has commenced planning for the Victorian Kendo Championships 2021.
We are intending to hold the event on the weekend of either 14-15 August or 21-22 August at Victoria University, Footscray Campus.
We will confirm the date and relevant details once available. As always, this VKR event will be held in line with COVID guidelines and will be subject to the conditions and any restrictions that may be in place at the time.
To support planning for this year’s event, the VKR will conduct an expression of interest survey to gauge the number of likely competitors and teams from each club. A link to the survey will be sent out in the coming weeks.
The VKR will then provide further information regarding tournament details in due course.
In the meantime, please keep the weekends free and we look forward to seeing many of you at the taikai.”

Updated PPE Guidelines

Our club’s PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) requirements have been updated to follow the current guidelines. A basic summary of the changes:

– Our club’s QR code will be updated to remove the Emergency Contact details, but will be staying. We will not be using the Victorian government’s QR code as Monash Sport already provides this service at the entrances to the buildings. So you still need to bring a phone to trainings!
– You are still required to obtain approval prior to visiting other clubs. Ask Sensei prior to visiting.
– If you are using a half face shield, you have to use a mask.
– If you are using a full face shield, you don’t need a mask.
– Full body contact is allowed now, along with maximum kiai 😀
