Sensei Foster Memorial Training Session at The Hut Dojo 2024
Every year Sensei Paul Foster-Dent holds a Training Session at The Hut Dojo in Hillingdon in memory of his grandfather, Sensei Haydn Foster, for members of The Institute of Aikido. This is the first time since 2020 that this has been possible. Dan grades from The Hut and Slough Centre Aikido, including Sensei William Timms of the IoA Governing Board, demonstrated various techniques, many of which had a special link to Sensei Foster himself. This is the video of the 2024 Memorial Training Session which took place on 12 February.

IoA Members visit to Shinbukan Aikido Club, Ireland
Over the weekend of 14 and 15 July a group of IoA Aikidoka from England and Scotland under the leadership of Sensei William Timms, paid a visit to the Shinbukan Aikido Club in County Roscommon in Ireland. This was a follow-up visit as a result of two of the Shinbukan members', Chief Instructor James Applegate (4th Dan) and Richard Whitfield (3rd Dan) taking part in the IoA Winter School at Spalding earlier in the year. The Shinbukan club has now decided to join the IoA and to follow our syllabus. We'd like to thank them for giving us a great time and we look forward to closer contact with them in the future.
