Dear Sir

As you may be aware, the Wing Chun Kung fu communities in the United States and Canada have been holding 'friendship seminars', an event aimed at achieving unity in our sadly fragmented and often politically divided style.

Through the Internet based 'Wing Chun Mailiing List', some of United kingdom & Europe based practitioners have dicussed the possibility of conducting such a seminar at some time in the future.

I am therefore writing to you with this preliminary enquiry as to your views and possible participation in such an event.

I am sure you will agree that we have suffered more than our fair share of bad publicity and this has been to the detriment of the art.

If we can all show that we can accept each other's lineages, views and differences, we can do much to bring Wing Chun into the new millenium in a positive manner.

I must stress that this will be a totally non profit event, all fees to cover costs only and the event will be non political in nature and content.

If you have any views or advice on how the event should be structured, venues, or other support I would be grateful if you would share these with me.

Once again, thanks for your time.

Yours in Wing Chun

Dave Farmer.
