EXCURSION TO THE DUTCH MASTERS SPORT TKD EVENT
2nd June 2012

Following the success of excursions to the Windmill Open Championships in the last seven years, we will again be organising an excursion to the 2012 event.  The event, now known as the DUTCH MASTERS and now takes place at a fantastic sports facility in the Centre of Rotterdam which comfortably holds 8-10 competition areas and has seating for 3000+ spectators.

The sparring event is a suitable for all grades and ages.  The sparring event has the following age groups: Under 10yrs, 10-13yrs, 14-17yrs, 18-34yrs and 35+yrs and in all age groups there are 3 grade categories (10 – 7th Kup, 6 – 3rd Kup and 2nd Kup and above  except in the under 10yrs where it is 2^nd Kup and above only).  These splits in ages groups and categories means that this event is fantastic for students of any age or ability as novice players will be in groups with similar novice players and for the experienced players, teams from many countries attend to give good matches for the higher level competitors.

Congratulations to Sophie Ward on her selection for the Great Britain Junior Development squad.

Also congratulations to Brian Tilley who has been elected to the 'A' Class Committee (Executive Committee) of the European Taekwondo Union.

Please remember to keep checking the calendar as many events have already been added for 2012 including grading dates and new ones are being added all the time.

Hi to all Chi Taekwondo Members. 

I would like to take some time to point out that we have a Forum for both Chi TKD members and other TKD practitioners.  The forum is the ideal place to chat amongst other Taekwondo enthusiasts and friends.  The forum also offers you the option of creating a profile with your own picture so friends can email you and send you personal messages.  As a member of the forum you have the opportunity to contribute to any of the open discussions or start a discussion of your own.

I would recommend that all Chi Taekwondo Members join the forum as it is a fantastic place to keep in touch with others and to post your opinions on current issues, Sport and Technical Taekwondo, and much more.

Thanks for your time.
