Bridport Aikido Club desperately needs your help in finding a new venue!  We have been training in Bridport for 10 years, mainly at the Leisure Centre and Colfox, but now we have to move from Colfox because they are unable to store our training mats anymore.  We only had two weeks notice of this change in policy and thus we need to find a new venue for Monday nights as quickly as possible; otherwise we cannot train and we will be letting down children and adults alike.

We need to find a venue that is about 6m by 8m (20' by 26') minimum; that's around 48sq m (520sq feet).  Nearby parking and toilets are also required.  We also have our own training mats that we would like to store in a neat pile under a tarpaulin - these take up 2sq m of space and the stack is about 1.5m tall.

Ideally we would like to train on Monday nights from 7-9pm although we are open to anything at the moment!  Also, if we were able to train on a second night (e.g. Wednesday) for 3 hours, that would be a fantastic bonus.

Obviously it would mean a reliable regular income for the venue and it would also be supporting a valuable mind and body development art for local children and adults.
