ITF England Northern Area and National Training

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 17:47:03 GMT

Dear Instructors, Blackbelts & Colourbelts,

I am e-mailing you to inform you that the Northern Area training scheduled for Saturday the 19th of July and Saturday the 2nd of August Training will be cancelled.

This is due to myself not being available for theses dates, Mr Clark & Mr Tavener Head Coaches of ITF England are aware of this and the website should be addressed.

For future dates please see the ITF England website www.itf-england.co.uk

I am sure that many of you are already aware that there is a second venue for national training now being held in Coventry. I would urge all members of the North West & Midlands to attend theses sessions if we are to secure this as a future venue, I'm sure you would all agree this will reduce travelling times and cost for ourselves considerably.

please support this second venue venture. Once again for further details please see the website www.itf-england.co.uk

I hope to see you all at the next session in Coventry on Sunday the 27th of July at 1000-1300hrs.

yours in TKD,

Taekwon-Do info

Wed, 23 Jan 2008 17:33:54 GMT

Dear Student / Parents

In the last newsletter I sent out I told you that the next area seminar and grading would be on 17th February in Moreton. This has now changed and will be held in Leeds. The next area Wirral one will be in May.

I will be arranging a local grading (not seminar) with Mr Rose some time in the next few weeks for those who want to grade but can’t travel to Leeds.

However if you still want to go to the Leeds seminar you still can but I will need to know by Wednesday 30^th January. If you haven’t been in tough about it by then I will assume you are not going.

As soon as I have the date for the Wirral grading with Mr Rose I will let people know.

Mr Felix Lopez 4th Dan, current European Power Champion and several times England Sparring Champion, has agreed to come and do a competition sparring workshop with Wirral students.

I will probably organise this for a Saturday or Sunday and the cost will be around £5. This is an excellent opportunity for our students.

I may have to limit it by age or grade depending on numbers, so *please give your names to me now if you are interested*, (preferably by email: instructor@wirraltaekwondo.com)
*Also please note there will be no TKD on Sunday 26th Jan*

No training 27th Jan

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 10:46:58 GMT

There will be no training on Sunday 27th Jan due to a black belt seminar the instructors will be attending in Leicester.

IMPORTANT UPDATE ITF England Northern Area

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 17:30:53 GMT

Dear Masters, Instructors, Black belts & Colour belts,

Unfortunately, Holy Cross College, Bury have double booked the sports hall on Saturday the 8th of December. I have looked for a further venue with a decent Training Hall but unfortunately these are booked for this date, therefore the final ITF England Northern Area Training Session is Cancelled, regrettably.

I hope you have all enjoyed the sessions, that you have been able to attend. Now we are up and running I'm hoping these sessions will get better and better with larger numbers. Hopefully, in 2008 those of you that do attend on a regular basis will consider attending National Training sessions for ITF England selection.

The Senior & Junior European championships are in May 2008 with the Veteran & Junior Worlds in October 2008. This is going to be a busy year for ITF England. Please support your area by encouraging eligible members from your school to attend lets see if we can have a further European or even World champion from our Area!!!

For a small area we are already producing National Medallists in every category, so we must be doing something right!!!

On behalf of ITF England I wish you a Happy Holiday & prosperous New Year.

Yours in TKD,

Felix M Lopez IV Degree

Assistant Instructor to Mr W.P. Rose V Degree
