March 2010 Seminar

We had two candidates attempt rank promotion, and three gradings presented. Jamie, Greg presented for technical examination and passed and to Sensei Mike's surprise his 4th Dan was proudly presented by Sensei Tim W.
Well done to all.

Unfortunately we didnt sell as many raffle tickets as hoped,I would like to thank Louise, Matthew and Adrian for suppling items for the raffle. Also a big thanks to Louise for selling the tickets for 5 hours during polling day at the club.
The raffle was drawn on the 31st under close watch, and the two winners are very happy. First prize of the hamper went to Mrs Scambler SR. and 2nd prize went to Vikki in the PCYC office.

We had a good days training on the Sunday,with weapons and new techniques.

Weekend Beach Training

It has been suggested the weekend training could be Saturday March 13 & Sunday 14th
Let me know ASAP , so I can start to organise.

possible Training weekend

It has been suggested that we have a training and social weekend at Swansea.
With beach training with a family style weekend.
We need to know who would be interested in supporting the weekend, so we can plan dates, accommodation and fishing rods and rakes.

Let me know your thoughts.

Relay for Life is on Feb 27 & 28, and thinking of making up a team.
"Allsortz" would be the title.
We have done this event before and had a great time, camped over and walked through the 24 hour period. It was a great social event also.
Let me know if you are interested in being a part of the team.
there is a $15 entry fee, and we then fundraise. more info will come soon.

This is a worthwhile event. Email to Paul and Brad.
