We're On The Move....

Hello All

As announced at club we are unable to use the WestPark School hall during  Term 4 this year AND Term 1 next year. This is due to the ongoing renovations at the school requiring that the school use the hall for class room activity while classrooms are renovated.

Fortunately we have managed to secure the use of the Salvation Army Gymnasium in Johnsonville on Tuesdays and Thursday evenings. We will begin trainings at the SA Gym on Tuesday 6th October (2nd week of school holidays)

Please also note that due to other bookings at the SA gym on Thursday evenings we will be starting classes at the earlier time of 5:30pm and finishing at 8:00pm. Tuesdays will be the same times as current 6:00pm - 8:30pm. 

NEW TRAINING TIMES AT SALVATION ARMY JOHNSONVILLE FROM 6TH OCTOBER 

(UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE)

TUESDAYS 6:00PM - 8:30PM

THURSDAYS 5:30PM - 8:00PM

Access to the gym is from the SA carpark (between BP service station and Sally Army Shop), the access door is in the corner of the courtyard tothe right of the front door entrance to the main Sally Army complex. Access by swipe card security so students will need to be on time as someone will have to “man” the door to let people in. So everyone should aim to arrive 10 minutes before our booked time (5:50pm Tues. & 5:20pm Thurs.) “Manning the door” will be the job of a student (or parent) and will only be for the 10 min window before class start time.

Note: We may look at combining Senior and Junior Classes and having just one class on Thursdays and starting at 6:00PM, but this is still just and idea at this stage. If you have any views or preferences one way or the other I’m happy to consider them.

I apologise if these changes are inconvenienient however we have little option and given the circumstance we have been lucky to find a suitable venue in the area available on the nights and times we want.

Potentially the Salvation Army gym will offer us better training options given that it is a full size basketball court size gym. 

Please contact me via return email (or at class theis week) if you have any further questions regarding these changes.

Cheers

2014 End Of Year Fun

Hi All

A bit late but as they say better late than….

2014 finished with a splash as we combined with Khandallah club to have a bit of fun, take a look at some pictures of the fun here. Thanks to Mr Lo for running around on the day taking these pictures - I’m not fooled however, it’s just a way of not getting wet on the day!!? This year we’ll get a go-pro so no excuses Mr Lo come prepared to do battle! Anyone with a go-pro?

Also thanks to Ms Chase for introducing us to TKD war games and combining with us to double the end of year fun! 

Congratulations to our brother and sister Seo duo, who took out the North Wellington club awards for Best Overall Student -David Seo, and Most Improved Student - Jenny Seo. 

Cheers

Happy New Year! 1st Training will be TUESDAY 20TH JAN

Hi All

I hope everyone has had a good Xmas/New Year break and made the most of the great weather we have been having to recharge their batteries for the year ahead. 

2015 will get under way for the club next Tuesday 20th January, so enjoy this upcoming anniversary long weekend and then we’re straight into it!

On Thursday 22nd Jan. there is the annual Wellington BEACH TRAINING AT ORIENTAL BAY. 

I wil look for a show of hands at Tuesdays session on the 20th and gauge interest - I would like te club to support this event as it is always fun and a chance to meet some of the other Wellington club members in a fun setting.

The next event will be WESTFEST at Westpark School and we will be working hard in club to put together a “Demonstration” as part of the activities on display. Watch this space for updates but the expectation is that this event will be in the 2nd week of February.

The Wellington Regional Tournament is scheduled for 29 March this year and will be a good opportunity for those setting their sights on grading to give themselvesa test before hand. I anticipate that the 1st grading we will run or participate in for this year will be early/mid April.

Dust off and iron those Doboks and do some practice if you haven’t been already! 

See you all on the 20th!

Cheers

Nick
