NO DIRECT DEBIT, CONTRACTS OR HIDDEN CHARGES!!! CHECK OUT PRICES FOR GREAT VALUE COACHING

Karate Competition 2011

OFFICAL FIGURE RAISED £2700

Special thanks to Mandy Painter for coming along 24 Jan 2012 to receive the cheque on behalf of Starlight and to thank all the children in person for doing so well.

Nov 27 2011 saw Young Gloves Karate host this years competition raising money for Starlight.
156 Students from the club came together from 5 year olds to adults making this a fantastic day.

Every competitor whether it be in Kata or Kumite really shown off their skills.
The day started with 8 new Young Gloves 1st dan black belts receiving their certificates from our recent grading. Kata followed, with our youngest members, leading up to adults, before moving onto kumite (sparring).

There was also a Nunchucku demonstration by Gemma Foynes, Samantha Thomas and Yasmin White.
A massive screen was setup this year projecting the katas and finals of the fighting.
May I say a really big thank you to everyone that supported this day whether it be instructors, competitors or parents, and especially the people that helped out not only on the day, but on Sat night setting up and Sun afterwards. Your efforts do not go unnoticed and are very much appreciated.

As you can imagine to set up and organise events on this scale is very time consuming and tiring, but extremely satisifying and well worth it when we see so many people coming together just once a year supporting such a good cause.


I was very proud of you all. Well done, and here's to next year.
The exact amount raised will be announced as soon as all the sponsorships come in.
