We are delighted and would like to congratulate Johann on achieving 1st kyu and Ruth on achieving 2nd kyu. Both took part in the Kyudo Association's examination course in Bad Dürkheim Both passed the subsequent examination with flying colours.

Unfortunately, there are no pictures of Susanne and Ulrike taking their 4th kyu exam at the makiwara on 27 November. Both passed with flying colours and are now allowed, or rather required, to practise shooting from a distance of 28 metres in preparation for their 3rd kyu exam.
