The 20th Club tournament had a great response with 99 competitors taking part. All had been working hard on their selected katas. There were lots of categories based on age, grade and sex.
The rounds went smoothly and the children showed great courage. Most were performing for the first time infront of Parents and Grandparents. Everybody showed their appreciation with lots of applause for all the childrens impressive efforts not just their own child.
We made excellant time on the tournament which enabled everyoneto relax and enjoy the display by the squad. The squad demonstrated a wide range of disciplines within Karate and especially our Clubs extensive syllabus.
The day finished with all the students receiving their commemorative trophies plus the usual 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies. Also our annual student of the year awards were given to Rebecca McLorie (cadet) and Chris Lyne (adult). Zach Scott was promoted from Junior to Senior Club Assistant and May Bateman was promoted from Senior Club Assistant to Junior Instructor. Well done to them.
The traditional group photographs took place with all the childrens beaming faces.
You made it happen kids well done
