It literally means “the way (-do) of harmony (Ai-) through universal energy (-ki-)”. \n\n\n\nNicolas de Knoop\, Instructor\n\n\n\nNicolas de Knoop began studying Aikido in 1990 at Rhodes University\, South Africa.  \n\n\n\nHe achieved Iwama-Ryu Aikido dan grades in taijutsu (empty handed) and buki-waza (weapons) in 1996 & 1997 respectively\, through Dr. Paolo Corallini Shihan and Morihiro Saito Shihan.  \n\n\n\nNicolas currently holds a 4th Dan in Iwama Ryu Taijutsu (empty handed)\, Aiki Ken\, and Aiki Jo (weapons)\, is fully insured\, and a registered Aikido coach with the British Aikido Board (BAB). \n\n\n\nComing for the first time?\n\n\n\nPlease note: Aikido is a martial art which requires a certain level of fitness. If you have any health concerns\, please consult your doctor before coming to practice. Aikido involves wrist\, elbow\, shoulder\, lapel (etc) grabs and strikes\, and involves falls and joint locks. Every effort is made to ensure safe and enjoyable practice\, with a step by step approach geared to all levels of practitioners. If you have any concerns\, please get in touch. \n\n\n\nThe first lesson is free. \n\n\n\nForest Row – Tuesday Evening: Please arrive at the Village Hall (Peter Griffits) for 7.20 pm. Mats are laid out for a 7.30 pm start. \n\n\n\nIf you do not have a keiko-gi (training uniform)\, please wear comfortable but sturdy clothes\, e.g. track suit. \n\n\n\nMembership\, Insurance\, & Fees\n\n\n\nMembership\n\n\n\nForest Row: Upon expressing a wish to continue to practice after an initial training session you will be required to complete a “New Membership Application Form”. This form must be along with the annual insurance and registration fee of £30. Students under the age of 18 will require a parent or guardian to verify the application. \n\n\n\nInsurance\n\n\n\nIt is a requirement for all individuals who wish to train at TAFR that they have suitable insurance. When first joining there is a registration and insurance fee of £30\, which covers a practitioner for 1 year.  \n\n\n\nThereafter there insurance renewal is £20 per annum. TAFR is a member club of the Aikido Development Society\, which in turn is a full member of the British Aikido Board\, a National Governing Body of Aikido within the UK. \n\n\n\nFees\n\n\n\nForest Row: The first lesson is free. Thereafter it is £32 per month\, or £12 drop in. Fees can be paid via standing order.

SUMMARY:Singing Mamas Forest Row
DESCRIPTION:Singing Mamas sessions are a space where all women\, no matter their singing skill\, can come together in a supportive community. Whether you’ve sung for years or feel a bit hesitant\, our relaxed environment welcomes you and your little ones to connect\, sing\, and find joy in shared melodies. \n\n\n\nNo auditions\, no solos\, just a community coming together in song! \n\n\n\nMore info: \n\n\n\n\nhttps://forestrowvillagehall.org/organiser/singing-mamas/\n\n\n\nhttps://www.singingmamas.org/\n\n\n\n\nWhat To Expect\n\n\n\nCommunity Connection: A warm\, welcoming space where you can connect with other local women and share experiences. \n\n\n\nGuided Singing: Our sessions are tailored to every level.

Feel free to bring your little ones along. We foster a family-friendly environment where kids are part of the joy. \n\n\n\nSupportive Atmosphere: Nervous about singing in a group or worried you’re not ‘good enough’? Don’t be. Our main goal is to uplift each other and find joy in the process\, not to perform perfectly. \n\n\n\nRefreshment Break: We always make time for a little break\, allowing you to relax\, chat with fellow mamas\, and enjoy some refreshments. \n\n\n\nBenefits\n\n\n\nInclusive Environment: Being part of a group where everyone is welcome\, regardless of singing ability or experience\, boosts confidence and self-worth. \n\n\n\nEmotional Boost: Singing has been shown to release ‘happy hormones’\, acting as a natural mood enhancer. \n\n\n\nStress Reduction: The act of singing\, especially in a group\, can help soothe the nervous system and decrease levels of stress. \n\n\n\nEnhanced Connection: It’s not just about the songs. It’s about forging meaningful connections with fellow mamas\, providing a sense of community and belonging. \n\n\n\nCognitive Stimulation: Learning new songs and harmonies stimulates cognitive functions\, keeping the mind sharp and engaged. \n\n\n\nPhysical Well-being: Singing involves deep breathing and good posture\, which can help in reducing muscle tension and promoting physical well-being.

SUMMARY:The Shed at Forest Row
DESCRIPTION:The Shed at Forest Row is a thriving hub for people of all ages to get together in a creative\, safe environment to build and repair things\, assist other residents\, and form new connections and friendships. \n\n\n\nWhat is The Shed at Forest Row?\n\n\n\nWe are a community workshop\, inspired by the Men’s Shed movement\, which started in Australia in the 1990s.  \n\n\n\nThose grassroots sheds were set up as woodworking workshops\, but also as a place for people to connect with others. The Shed concept offers people the opportunity to ‘potter’ much as they would in their own garden shed – but the difference is that they would not be alone.  \n\n\n\nThe ability for people to share their skills\, learn from others\, undertake small and not so small projects in the company of others is central to the philosophy of the Shed movement.  \n\n\n\nThe idea is to combat loneliness and to offer a space to chat and boost mental health\, whilst also giving attendees the opportunity to repair / upcycle / make things for the community or themselves.  \n\n\n\nThe Shed at Forest Row is open to all aged 18 and over\, not just men.  \n\n\n\nOur initial focus is on woodwork\, but we also want to have other crafts onsite\, such as knitting and crochet. We are in the process of registering The Shed at Forest Row as a charity. \n\n\n\nThe idea has spread and\, according to the UK Mens Shed Association\, there are now over 400 shed projects up and running in the UK. \n\n\n\nOur Shed in Forest Row works in tandem with other well-established initiatives in the village including the Repair Café\, the VENUe on the Green\, FRow Resource and the Second Life community shop. \n\n\n\nWhere?\n\n\n\nThe Shed at Forest Row is located just behind the Community Centre on Hartfield Road\, Forest Row\, RH18 5DZ. \n\n\n\nWhen?\n\n\n\nWe launched in Spring 2025\, and currently host two sessions a week: \n\n\n\n10am – 2pm Wednesday \n\n\n\n10am – 2pm Saturday \n\n\n\nWe hope to add more sessions once we’re more established. \n\n\n\nHow much does The Shed at Forest Row cost?\n\n\n\nThe first three taster sessions are free. After that\, we ask for a £3 contribution per session (which includes all hot drinks and biscuits)\, or you can become a member at £35 a year. \n\n\n\nWe wish we didn’t have to charge\, but we have all sorts of overheads (rent\, utilities\, woodwork supplies\, safety equipment and training).  \n\n\n\nWe are applying for grants\, but we also need an ongoing revenue stream to make it viable. \n\n\n\nHow can you join?\n\n\n\nIf you’re interested in coming to the Shed to make/repair your own projects\, or join ours\, or just hang out\, please send us an email or a DM. We can send you our membership form. theshedforestrow@gmail.com \n\n\n\nHow can you help?\n\n\n\nVOLUNTEERS: We’re always open to volunteers with craft skills who would be happy to facilitate sessions. Please email if you’re interested. \n\n\n\nTOOLS: We would very much welcome donations of good-quality tools that you don’t need any more. Please email if you would like to donate anything. \n\n\n\ntheshedforestrow@gmail.com \n\n\n\nWho’s behind The Shed at Forest Row?\n\n\n\nOur committee comprises Tony Lewin (chair)\, Alex Waters (treasurer)\, Helen Munro (secretary)\, Kevin Brockbank (health & safety officer)\,Liz Brockbank (accountancy)  session leaders David Loveday and Neil Woolley\, and Christine Luke (membership secretary). \n\n\n\nJoin The Shed at Forest Row\n\n\n\nKnow someone that would like to be part of The Shed? If you would like to become part of the team to help build\, manage or support this exciting initiative\, or if you’d like to become a Shed member\, please register your interest at theshedforestrow@gmail.com
