Dear Members, What a week! On Thursday we had two awesome gradings, with the mini kids and the colour belts doing themselves proud. All the colour belts will receive their results, stripes and belts this week in class (otherwise you'll have to wait til next year). Grading photos here Then on Saturday we had our club Picnic & Prizegiving. It was an overcast day but we had a great turn out and a few spits didn't dampen a lovely time together (and how about that free puppet show that just happened to be a few metres away??). It was also great to recognise the recipients of our Club Awards for 2014 which were: Contribution Award - Steve Milne Most Improved Student - Emma Hookings No. 1 Supporter - Sue Keay Courtesy Award - Adam Sage Integrity Award - Jeny & Joji Joseph Perseverance Award - Laura Watts Self Control Award - Daniel Geck & Jack Milne Indomitable Spirit Award - Kavita Jaduram Picnic & Prizegiving photos here Yes, There Are Classes This Week Classes DO continue this week but on a reduced schedule. All of Miss Geurts' classes are running as usual, but everyone else is either at 4pm or 6pm Mon-Thu this week (no 6pm class on Wednesday - come at 4pm instead). For the full timetable over the summer, we've got a handy reference page on our website. Full summer timetable here And Finally ... The Mystery is Over!!! Over the past couple of weeks we've posted a few mysterious clues on our Facebook page about what is coming up in the summer for Warrior Taekwon-Do members ... and now the wait is over! Announcing our first ever Summer Photo Competition! 
Get a photo of yourself doing a Taekwon-Do technique during the summer and you could be in to win some great prizes, including a Top Pro ITF gear bag and, a cuddly Taekwon-Do teddy bear and more!
Your photo could be taken at the beach, at the library, on a boat, at home - even underwater! Your imagination is the only limit, so get thinking, prime the camera batteries (or your phone battery) and get clicking this summer! Entries open 5 January and close 31 January 2015.

Best wishes, Rachel Bates Manager  Dear Members,
We've got our final gradings for the year on Thursday and our Christmas Picnic & Prizegivingon Saturday. But that's not all - classes do continue next week too, but on a reduced timetable. Make sure you read this newsletter carefully to keep track of what it is coming up and when to come to class. Gradings This Week Mini Kids - your grading is at 4pm. So make sure you arrive at least 15 minutes earlier to find parking and settle in. We estimate the grading to be over by or about 5.30pm. Colour Belts - your grading is at 6.30pm, but you need to arrive by or around 6pm. All grading applicants, please remember to wear a nice, clean dobok, remove all jewelry and if you are wearing a tshirt underneath your dobok, it must be white (these are the rules during normal trainings too)! No Classes On Thursday Because of the gradings there are no classes on Thursday this week. You can come on a different day at the same time this week, however. Contact the office if you're not sure when to come and we can help you out. Christmas Picnic & Prizegiving - This Saturday! If you didn't get your RSVP in by Friday in time to be in the draw for some spot prizes, we'd still love to receive your RSVP so we have an idea of numbers. Please bring a picnic for you and your family, a picnic rug, deck chairs, hats and sunscreen and plenty of water. Our area will be beneath the Memorial Steps in the Native Aboretum area.
