Warrior Taekwon-Do News: 8 December

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. If the weather turns bad, any cancellation will be notified on our website and on Facebook by 10am on the day.

There is a map of the meet point and full details, as well as the RSVP form here.
