3rd January

 

Happy New Year To All

 

 

Another year and as usual optimism is high for the new year.  We always strive to improve on the previous year and I think last year we successfully achieved our goal, so obviously the pressure will be on to maintain the high standard we currently hold. 

 

We all know at the moment that we are in the middle of a credit crunch and money will be tight for most of us, this obviously may affect the amount of events that we are able to participate in this year but we will endeavor  to raise some money through sponsored events, hopefully cushioning the financial outlay to you individually. 

In December we raised £617 by bag packing at Marks & Spencer in the Trafford Centre so thank you to all those who helped. We also have another one which has been arranged on 14/15 February at Marks & Spencer in Hanforth Dean, we feel with a little effort (and a lot more tills) we could raise into the thousands. Anybody who has any other suggestions in raising money for the club or wish to donate a contribution, this would be greatly appreciated.

 

On a final note, I would like to wish Joshua Gagon, Saule and Harley Del Rio all the very best on their forthcoming European Karate Championships which is to be held in Paris at the end of January, unfortunately

I will have to attend this one, you know it's all work Karen!!

I hope you guys have been training hard through Christmas,  as a club we are still waiting for that elusive International medal, maybe 2009 is the year.
