In Summary
· Glasgow Phoenix Dojo is now closed. · The Bield Dojo is now open · Paisley YMCA is now closed · The Elderslie Dojo is now open · The fees are under review over the next 2 months to evaluate the value of membership against the running cost of the new venues. (This will likely be good news for all of you) · We will be renewing our membership with GBMAA in the summer of this year so our students will have access to international competitions if they wish. · The March Grading Examinations are now over, presentations for successful candidates will be in the second week of April. · We are officially in a membership push. We would like to see the membership of all age groups increase to help us afford better venues, more staff at each class and renewal of equipment. Please see your newsletter for referral incentives. · We have video on YouTube.com. Please go to our Videos Page and click the link to see them. · Venue hunt: We are looking for new venues that can host us so we can open more classes. We currently have a slot to open classes on Monday, Tuesday and Friday nights. Please e-mail us with your suggestions. · New contact details: You can now reach me on my pager. The number is 07659 112 607. If you are trying to reach me during or just before a class, this is the number you should use. The person who answers the phone will take a message and pass it on within seconds, but I’m going to start switching my phone off during class to prevent distraction to my students. If you request an immediate call back, I will do so, but ringing phones is class don’t benefit anyone. Most mobile contracts include this number in the calling plan. If you pay as you go, you should check with your service provider for call costs. · We are now supplying a free P2P sales service (peer to peer) allowing you to advertise items you want to sell, appeal for items you would like to buy or view club kit or special offers for sale. There is no charge for the service to either the vendor or purchaser but only club kit comes with a guarantee. · We also have a new catalogue out now! It is a collection of equipment from all our main suppliers including Bytomic, Shogun International, Kwon, Cimac, Blitz and Hayashi. The prices for the items in the catalogue are a guide to how much we can guarantee to supply for and are lower than retail but the more items that are in an order from each supplier, the lower the actual price will be. · 2009 Summer Camp: We are hoping to run a residential summer camp in 2009. We are investigating the viability of several venues this year, including Lapwing Lodge in Renfrewshire, Sandend in Aberdeenshire and Auchenlarie in Dumfries and Galloway. We’re also planning a Black Belt retreat to give the Twin Stripes a chance to do a full review of our 1st Dan Curriculum. It’ll take 4 days!! · Amway: You can now purchase your Amway, Artistry and Nutrilite products from us. We have access to great products at great prices all with 100% money back satisfaction guarantee, delivered to your door or dojo, whatever suits you best. You can view products at www.amway.co.uk and contact us for the password to use the site. · The children’s classes at the Paisley Bield Dojo will be closed on Thursday 4th of June 2009 due to the hall being used for European Parliamentary Elections.
