I have been busy moving to Croatia after selling my 2 shops last month. I also had a trip to Asia leading workshops in China and South Korea. I think we had a record number of people taking tests in October. We gave large workshops in Germany, France, China, South Korea and Taiwan with almost 100 stringers taking part with 100 certifcation tests given in tennis and badminton.
