       Students in the club have been making excellent progress in recent months, therefore I have decided to schedule a date for the
    next grading. This will take place on Sunday 20^th June at  the  following times:

Little Ninja’s – 12:45 to 14:00
Seniors – 14:00 to 15:45

        It is essential that students arrive for the grading on time and it is recommended that you arrive early in order to
        ensure you are ready as anyone who arrives late will not be permitted to undertake the grading – No Excuses.
        The fee for the grading is £15 and will be taken on the day. Students are also reminded that current belts must
        be worn on the day of the grading. Students will be assessed from now until the date of the grading as to whether
        they are ready to undertake it, if they are not they will be told by myself and will not participate on the day. As
        most of you will know I will not enter any student into a grading unless I am confident they have the ability to pass.

       

        On a lighter note I am arranging a night out for all students over the age of 18 and students parents if they wish to
        attend. The night out will involve a few friendly drinks in Gloucester and will be a chance to socialise with your
        fellow students or parents. This will take place on Saturday the 15^th May where we will meet in Weatherspoons at
        19:30 and I hope most of you will be able to attend. You are also welcome to join us later if you wish and I will
        have my mobile with me if you need to contact me.
 

    As most of you are aware I have been attempting to get all students into the correct uniform by offering subsidised prices on   
    trousers. I’m glad to say most students are now wearing the correct uniform and as a result the club looks a lot more
    professional and everyone looks very smart! As this offer has now been running for a considerable time giving everyone the
    opportunity to take advantage it, I will be discontinuing this offer as of now. Please note students who have already ordered   
    uniform will get it at the price agreed with me previously. The new non subsidised prices are listed below:

    and approved equipment is used. Don’t forget to check out the website for news and photo’s from the last grading at
