Membership Renewal Online 


Dear Students, 

Welcome back !

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Already many students are itching to get back into Taekwondo.  Its hard to believe its been almost 4 weeks since we last trained.  

For the Children, it will be great to get back into a routine and beat the boredom of School holidays.  For our Adults, what better way to get back into shape after all that Christmas cheer.

For us, we are keen to get back into teaching and help you achieve your goal for 2010.  

Looking forward to seeing you all over the coming weeks.

Best Wishes for a great 2010

 

Michael Tan

Master Instructor

Tans Open - Name Change

2010 will see the Tans Open change its name to the "Gold Coast Open".  The change was made to help promote the Gold Coast region to our interstate and international visitors.  

The Tans Open has grown from a club comp to a national size event  held over 2 days.  The name change will not impact the quality or standard of the competition.

  • Going for Red or Black 2.00pm

There will be no black belt training due to the late start.

Byron wins at World Championships

On the first day of competition, Byron won his first fight against Nigeria 4:3. Unfortunately he lost his next match to Russia 6:1.  Still a remarkable achievement to be the only Queenslander to represent Australia at these games.  For live broadcast of the World Championships in Denmark http://www.dartfish.tv/CollectionInfo.aspx?CR=p1c5071

$2000 Sponsorship for Byron. 

indoor plant hire and office plants specialists, Frenchams Professional Indoor Plant Hire Services, catering to sydney melbourne and brisbane

      Byron Coleborne from Tan's Currumbin is the only Queensland representative on the Australian Team for the World Championships in Denmark.  

Byron has to contribute $3200 towards team expenses which is partly funded by the AIS.  To help Byron, all money raised at our Halloween Awards night will go towards Byron's Team contribution.

Two of our instructors have started the ball rolling by kindly organising  significant sponsorship for Byron.  Ms Sue Trewin Instructor of Acacia Ridge and Munruben has pledged $1000 through Distinctive Pools.  Mr Wayne Mahoney Head Instructor of Clayfield has matched the $1000 pledge through his franchise Frenchams Indoor Plant hire.

Byron will be at our awards night to share his experience at the World Championships.

Sunnybank Hall - Under Repair

Classes at our Sunnybank centre are temporary being held next door at the Sunnybank RSL hall on Monday nights only (5-6, 6-7pm).  The existing Community hall is under repair as the main ceiling is damages.  It is hoped we will be back at the community hall next year.  Students wishing to train more than once per week are encouraged to visit one of our other centres nearby.

The Brisbane City council apologises for any inconveniences.
