Tai Chi Caledonia 2009

Dear Karen and Ronnie,
Thank you both for organising such a rich programme for this year's T'ai-Chi Caledonia. For me the greatest benefit is being able to meet other teachers and to experience a taste of their ways of teaching, thoughts and forms. And I really enjoyed the calligraphy, very challenging.

Thanks Karen for sending on payment for Sleep CD - I left pretty sharply post the afternoon session on Thursday, there were very few people around the huts then.

See you next year!

Kind regards
Sue - (Initiator), Relaxing the Mind activities

Dear Ronnie
I have had a wonderful week, have been inspired and spent time with some lovely folks, all thanks to your enthusiastic efforts.

Many thanks

Hello
Just to say thank you for a great four days. Grainne and I really enjoyed the whole experience (apart from the bit in the noisy gym!!). All the instruction was excellent, the groups so nice to work with and we did appreciate all the effort that went on in the background with the chalet service etc. We are both very pleased with our prizes for the environmental art too!!

Thanks again
Debbie Hamilton

Hi
I had a great time at Caledonia and a nice restful week off work following it. The Tai Chi players, training, food and weather were all perfect this year so it's been my favourite so far! I've looked through everyone’s photos on the websites (loved the one with Violetta (or was it Maja) from Croatia on your shoulders

Hi Ronnie
Just wanted to say wow what a fabulous week…think I am still taking it all in…and what a pleasure to meet you my friend…thanks for putting on a fantastic event, for all your generosity and for all the laughs. Hope to see you next year if not before

I would just like to thank you and your team for putting on such an excellent event. This was my first year attending, and I will defiantly consider coming again (depending on finances). The quality of the instruction was first class. the venue was mostly good, shame about the problem with the hall, and the company friendly and fun.

Having been involved in organising, non Tai Chi, events, I appreciate all the hard work that is needed to make things run so smoothly (quite often for very little thanks).

I will certainly be recommending this to others of all levels.

Once again many thanks and best wishes.

I wanted to thank you for another excellent Tai Chi Caledonia, I haven't been to many other of these sorts of events (yet) but I would be surprised if they are as 'complete' as Cali - anyway enough smoke blowing!!! Lol

Hi Ronnie,
Just a note to thank you for a great Tai Chi Caledonia, Liz and I enjoyed the workshops and the food, discussions were good.

Bit of feedback, Judith, Faye and Sam had fantastic workshops and seem to have a plan for the 45 mins., some of others it was a bit disjointed and not suitable for the time we had (no plan).

On the marketing, tried the promotion material on my students, most said it suggested it was all a bit at an advanced level, maybe a few more 'beginners' 'introduction to' type words would help, even special invite to new students. The teacher list is very impressive but maybe a bit daunting.

All suits me fine but we need a bit of new blood.

Hope it helps, see you next year.

Hi dear ronnie,

Just to let you know that all my group thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Stirling last week (3-10th July). Everything was a high standard and we just wanted to let you all know how much we appreciated the help you gave us, with lifts etc.

Just wanted to say a really big thank you, to you and all those who worked so hard to give us such a really great time at Caledonia 09. The food was fine, please ignore the fussy eaters. Anything cooked by someone else other than me is great. I do hope Ronnie gets better space for classes next year as I heard moans and groans about not coming unless it's better than this year, so the numbers attending may depend on better working areas. I hope to be there regardless. I am always made welcome and I have such a good time can't think of anywhere else I would rather be. Julie loved it too and I believe she will come again next year all being well.
Bye for now.

Thank you so much for your part in organising this year's Tai Chi Caledonia - it was my first time - and I had a great time. Will definately be back - and next time for the whole week.
