Dear aikidokas
We have done our best to keep the organising on-going until
authorities and airlines prevent us. Here, I want to thank Jörg Kretzschmar
for the determination, for booking the halls, updating the web-page etc.
As you know, Nordrhein-Westphalia ( where Cologne is located )
is the most hit area in Germany by the corona virus.
Yesterday’s number was 545 and increasing in Germany.
Airlines have already cancelled flights of some of our attendees, e.g. from Spain.
Whole Italy is classified as a danger area for Finnish health professionals.
Everyone returning from Germany to Israel will face a 2 week quarantine.
In North France, schools are closed. In all countries of our invitees,
companies are putting travel restrictions ( which affect directly some of you ).
We think that cancelling is the safest option for you, and also for your partners, children and parents ( = our extended aikido-family.)
We will start returning your payments in full.
In case of mistakes, etc., please contact Gerhard Treffner at: gerhard.treffner@aon.at
Please note, that despite this cancellation, Jörg-san will organise back-up seminars
to those, who are able to travel without flight-cancellation or other risks.
All trainings take place in Jörg’s dojo at Beethovenstrasse 16-18.
Price: donations
