Black Belt Patterns course
There will be a Black Belt Patterns course on Saturday 4th July at Hutton Moor, this will have limited spaces and you will have to book your slot on the SW area website, I will let you know when the booking form is open.

New faces
We have welcomed lots of new faces into the club over the past few weeks, and hopefully we will see more adults starting and old faces returning as we return to a more normal way of training, with the phased return to training we will see juniors back to sparring and Adults using pads in during June and by the end of the month returning to an almost normal training syllabus.

Club Merchandise
There will be a newly designed club hoodies along with a tee-shirt on the club website very soon.

Licences
Please make sure your TAGB licence is in date if you are grading or attending any official events, if you are unsure if your licence is in date, ask me.
If there is anything you need further information or clarification on, please ask!

As the government has recently changed the level of restrictions this will allow us to resume some more classes
From Monday 17th May we will run indoor adult classes and allow some more content with the juniors.
