RIP Geoffery Noel Salmon, Nanadan Kyoshi

Fellow Kendoka,

It is with deep sadness that I must inform you of the passing of Geoffery Noel Salmon, Nanadan Kyoshi. Geoff passed away peacefully, after a long illness, this afternoon, accompanied by his family. I know he will be sorely missed by members of the British Kendo Association and his many friends throughout the world. We will post more information when it becomes available.

Rest in peace Geoff, an outstanding Kendoka and my best friend.
