And of course everyone who took part! I probably missed mentioning some more names that should be listed.
We collected some good amount of donation yesterday during the day - thank you so much for your generosity! We are still receiving donations so the final amount is yet to be announced.
The results will be up on the website soon with some great photos from the day. If you could share yours that will be very nice. Please send them to me.
All junior members had said ok for photo publication for the purpose of promotion of the sports and their achievements. So please take care of the photos that you have taken.
Thank you again
Kind regards

— WELCOME —
Charity Kendo Group is pleased to invite you to the 2018 Charity Kendo Championships
Welcome to the 10th Charity Kendo Championships.
This year marks the 12th anniversary of our charity activities supporting Maggie's Centres through the kendo workshop known for 2000 kirikaeshi and the 10th year supporting both Maggie's Centres and Macmillan Cancer Support, through the Charity Kendo Championships.
To mark the 10th anniversary we will have some specials on top of our usual.
The Championship format will stay as usual, Junior Individual Championships by age groups including armour and non-armour Groups followed by Junior Team Championship known as the Sakura Cup, then Family Team Championship for the Hiroshi Ozawa Fighting Spirit Shield and the 'finale' Kachinuki match - Maggie's vs Macmillan, for which one individual with the best performance will be awarded the Kashinoki Plate. For the junior categories children from age 6 years old to 17 can take part.
It is a family event and there will be Parents Competition just after the lunch break. So parents and siblings are welcome to take part. The detail of the parents competition will be announced on the day. There will also be the Auction of items, from which money made will all go to both charities. If you have any unwanted items in the house, please bring them along too.
We look forward to seeing you all again this year. Online application form will be available shortly.
Our thoughts are with those people fighting cancer and their family today.
