Shodokan Honbu would prefer non-Shodokan people to watch also. I understand this perfectly as there is a definite rhythm to the training.
At Shodokan Himeji no one watches (you are dragged out onto the mat) - first time visitors don't pay either. My little contribution to the Aikido world even though it cuts the flow of training.
Still that is a choice I make and would not get upset if a group declined my participation for the reasons that group stated.

I wouldn't be upset either, but I don't think I'd bother to visit a club once just to watch a class. (Like the 4th kyu in question, I think I'd have gone off to find the blues club instead.)
The way you do things at Himeji is much more my cup of tea.

Not really that up on UK Aikido politics (why would I be)

Best way. I think I'd prefer to be less up on the politics than I am.
