We had our first Open Day last Sunday. Some people who said they would come failed to show up but that was to be expected. But a few unexpected guests also showed up so I guess it more or less evened out.
As planned we worked on koshi-jime for groundwork and ippon-seoi-nage/ippon-osoto for standing. Then we did randori.
Not sure how many of the newbies will sign up but one already did and he's a welcome addition. Another one said she would start only after her semester ends cos she will have more time then. There were a few others who said, "Maybe...". So, we'll see.
These types of recruitment drives are necessary to inject new blood into the club. A natural amount of turnover is to be expected. Some people leave the club and some new ones come in. The important thing is to have a core group of people who make up the foundation of the club and we are lucky to have that.
