[Karateclubstudents] Karate Club Information
by Ronan Barrett 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

Hi all, Firstly congrats to everyone who attended the Intervarsity last weekend. We were very successful and a good time was had by all. Well done especially to the medal winners! I will put up some pictures and videos onto the site towards the end of the week. Also thanks a million to Liam and Joe for all their hard work over the last few weeks in helping us to train to a very high standard. Secondly can anyone who got a hoodie last week pay Maria please. The hoodies are 26euro each. Thanks a million to everyone who helped design the masterpiece logo. It looks really professional. Finally we will be reintroducing training fees this Wednesday. A voluntary donation of 1euro would be appreciated for every class you attend. A money box will be at every training class so you can just throw your money into it (no signing in is necessary). This money goes directly back into club activities such as booking extra training time. Cheers, Ronan -- Ronan Barrett, Postgraduate Research Student, School of Computing, Dublin City University, Ireland. Website : http://www.computing.dcu.ie/~rbarrett/

[Karateclubstudents] Karate is back!
by Ronan Barrett 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Hey all, Just to remind you the karate club is back in training. As usual we have classes on Mon/Wed/Sat for beginners. Even if you didn't make the grading last year your more than welcome to join us and get your belt in April. All the details are on www.dcukarate.com In other news.... 1) We will be running a competition in a couple of weeks time (Saturday 18/02/06). It would be great if as many members can turn up. It will be a friendly event and a great introduction to competitive karate. I'll forward on the details when we have them confirmed. 2) The Karate Intervarsities will be taking place on Saturday 25/02/06. We would encourage all members to compete. They are on in Galway and are always good fun. Beginners need only demonstrate their Katas, no fighting is involved. The weekend will be subsidised by the club. Please email me if you would like to attend. 3) We are looking into buying some club Hoodies. They will be approximately 25euro. If you would like one please email me with your size. 4) Clubs & Socs day part II. Clubs and Socs Day 2 is on the 15th February between 10am and 2pm (that's week 2). This is a great opportunity for you to get more members into the clubs. The registration point will be upstairs in the Clubs & Socs Office and registration fee is just €2 for the semester. Can volunteers please email me so we can man the stand for these hours? 5) Extra kumite training for the intervaristies. I would like to arrange two extra classes for kumite. One this week and next week. Would Friday at 9am suit everyone? If so I can confirm with Liam. Thanks for your time.
