• In July the first grading at our new dojang took place.
• In November we attended the first competition since the start of the pandemic, our 7 competitors coming away with 4 gold medals as well as some silver & bronze
• Also in November we hosted a series of seminars with Master Whiteley, 8th Dan, who also graded a number of students.
• In December the annual awards were presented in class, and the adults had a celebratory meal out. No Christmas party took place this year due to covid  and the large number of people this would have involved.
