30 July 08 - 22:15 ¶ Recontres Jasnieres 2008

]TCFE Secretary, Ronnie Robinson has just returned from this year's Recontres Jasnieres, the 21st year of Europe's longest running multi-style taiji & internal arts gathering. With approximately 200 people in attendance the weather was mainly kind and training continued outdoors, not too hot, not too wet!

As promised Ronnie has posted his photographs of the event accessible from this site and hosted on Flickr. Any of the low resolution images (perfect for web pages) may be accessed and used by anyone but if you require high resolution images contact Ronnie directly for details of a low price per image.
The photos can be found in the The Taijquan & Qigong Federation of Europe: Gallery.

A fuller report of the 21st RJ will follow in due course.
