WTKD News: 27 January

Dear Members,

This week is our last week training under our limited timetable - we are looking forward to starting our full timetable in February! Today is a public holiday so no training today - enjoy your day off or come to our first Saturday training at 9.30am on 1 February at Stanhope Rd School Hall instead.

Full Timetable Starts On Saturday!
Woohoo! We're looking forward to kicking off our full timetable this year with our family class on Saturday 1 February at 9.30am.  If you've never tried a Saturday class before feel free to come and give it a go! The rest of our classes will also resume from Monday - there are a couple of new options this year too (keep reading for more info)!

First Bring A Friend for 2014!
This coming Saturday class is our first Bring A Friend Day for 2014 - come and train at 9.30am at Stanhope Rd School and bring some friends with you! By the way - "friends" can also mean family members - mum, dad, aunty and cousin Bill! Saturday training is a great family class run by Miss. Roisin Giles, who has been instructing our combined sessions during January.

Blue Stream (5.30pm) Class Days Are Expanding
This year we introduce two new blue stream times: Monday and Wednesday at 5.30pm.  These classes are for pre-teens and young colour belts.  We invite existing blue streamers to consider swapping to a Monday and/or Wednesday, and invite existing green streamers (who have been training at 4.30pm) who may have recently graded or think they might be ready to train in a more advanced class to please fill in a class transfer form for one of these classes.  As we are getting ready to start these classes next week we would appreciate if you could please put in your class transfer form at your earliest convenience.

ITKD Re-Registrations
Those members whose re-registrations are due have been sent (or will be emailed this week) an invoice for their re-registration.  Please get on top of these ASAP as you must be a registered member to continue training.  You can read about the numerous benefits of belonging to ITKD here in this excellent page.

Save the Date!
Our first movie night will be on Friday 14 February! The movie nights are a great chance to enjoy being part of our community in a more relaxed/casual setting.  The movies are age appropriate for the whole family and proceeds from are used to help support our athletes competing in national and international tournaments.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Are you available between 2.45-3.15pm on weekdays?! We are looking for one or more volunteers to help us with our Walking School Bus.

Our Walking School Bus is a unique service which helps kids from Stanhope Road School get safely to the dojang (training center). It is approximately a 400m walk from the school to the training centre door - a very short distance. Due to the young age of the kids and large volume of traffic, we are in need of a parent volunteer to supervise the kids.

If you can help, please contact us asap. Have a great training week!
    

Best wishes,
The Warrior Taekwon-Do Team
