Ah, the trials and tribulations of working with health and safety officers... Today Stephane, Forrest, Thomas and I pitched up to teach a workshop open to the public in central London for Jubilee Halls Sports Centres, only to find that the managers of that particular stretch of cobbled street (in this instance, the Covent Garden Piazza) would not allow the public to get involved for fear of liability issues. So, today's challenge was how to run a workshop when the prospective students are banned from participating?!

Always looking to find a solution, we enlisted the event staff and a few other brave souls from Westminster Sports Unit, and put on a workshop-demonstration for the expectant audience, which went down very well. Many thanks to the guys for improvising so well off the cuff. Very good to have Thomas in the UK with us at the moment for a couple of months (and longer, we hope!).

As with most days at the moment, this one is stacked full. Coaches Brian and James are teaching for an outdoor sports event at the Westminster Academy, Dom and Yao are running workshops for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, and the evening sees Forrest holding our regular Academy Class at Moberly Sports Centre while Kazuma and Tracey run this week's Women's Class at the Archway spot. Yes, just another day...
