History - Karate on Anglesey / Bangor 20 years ago
« on: October 11, 2008, 10:28:28 PM »
Does anyone recall a Shotokan Karate club in Gaerwen going back 15-20 years ago.

It sounds like it was affiliated or partnered with Bangor and others at one time.

Has anyone in SRZ been involved with a club in Gaerwen?

I am not sure if there was a club in 1998, I will ask, I think it stopped about 15 years ago, we moved into Gaerwen in 1998. I will ask for the name of the instructor again

Sorry, I meant the Gaerwen club, you mentioned it may have been around in 1998?

Probably right here...
Dic gave up Gaerwen about then and Joe Lyons moved in very soon afterwards.

Dic was with Kodokai  ...(Mr Kato)
