We wish all friends of the Neandertal Kyudo Club a merry and blessed Christmas and a happy transition into 2025, which in East Asia is the Year of the Snake.

There will be no practice during the Christmas break. The last practice will be on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, and the first practice of the new year will be on January 7 in the gym at Bavier Elementary School.

On January 18, we will host our traditional New Year’s archery event to welcome the new year. Spectators are warmly welcome to this fun, friendly competition. The opening ceremony (Yawatashi) will take place at 10:30 a.m. in the gym of the Gymnasium am Neandertal in Alt-Erkrath; the event is scheduled to end around 5:00 p.m. Further details can be found in the attached invitation.
