UPCOMING STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS
Good luck to our team of 8 competitors (including Master Gary and our four new black belts!) entered into the upcoming ATV State Poomsae Championships on June 22nd at Darebin. This is one of the pathway competitions for the National Championships to be held in Adelaide in October.
The ATV State Kyorugi (sparring) Championships will be held on the 27th July at the State Hockey Centre in Parkville, and we already have a couple of students beginning their preparations for this competition.
Any student entering inter-club, regional or State/National Championships can attend our specialised Saturdays pathways classes at no extra cost. Eligibility for State/National Championships depends on regional and interclub competition experience.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEW BLACK BELTS
Congratulations to Raha, Daniel, Eden and Sami on achieving their black belts at Macleod YMCA on Saturday 10th May - they are a credit to themselves, and to our dojang! Congratulations also to our new ChoDanBo (probationary black) students who graded alongside the black belts; Natalie, Sohum, Ella and Maisam.
KPNP OPEN REGIONAL COMPETITION
The KPNP Open Series will be running another regional competition at Craigieburn on Sunday 20th July. This is one of the poomsae and sparring (kyorugi) qualifying competitions for Tigers students to be eligible for State Championships, and utilises the PSS electronic scoring system that is used at State level. Other regional championships are usually less expensive for families; this competition is priced more like state championships, but is still a great experience.
YMCA HIRE FEE INCREASE LIKELY
After conducting a review of similar facilities around the area, the YMCA has determined that its facilities hire fee for user groups is consistently at the lowest end of the scale. Whilst Tigers Taekwondo is well supported and appreciated by our local manager, he also has the unenviable task of ensuring the centre's ongoing viability. Much needed repairs and upgrades need to be funded, and he is also working to turn around many years of fiscal loss for the centre.
At this stage he has only forewarned us of an upcoming hire fees increase in July - we understand that any change in fees can have an impact on our students and families, and we are committed to working with the YMCA to minimise any potential fees increases.
