1st May 2010 - Scarborough Trip

Due to the lack of training on Saturday 1st May, a trip to Scarborough has been organised instead. The cost for this trip is £15 and is payable on the union website, like paying for membership (instructions on that shown above), except is listed under "Products" instead of "Join". The trip will last all day, and transportation is being arranged.

April and May 2010 - Lessons

Welcome back, and we hope you all had a good Easter break. Training starts back up on Wednesday 21st April, the first Wednesday back, with usual time and place.
However thee will be a few cancelled lessons in the next few weeks. They are:
Saturday 24th April (no instructors available)
Friday 30th April (Sports hall is booked out)
Saturday 1st May (Sports hall is booked out)

19th March 2010 - Last Lesson

The last lesson of the semester is here, and will be held on Friday the 19th (of March). With that said, we hope you all have a great break, and that we will see you all next semester.

17th March 2010 - AGM

It's that time of year again, and as you have been informed, the AGM is on Wednesday 17th March in Sports Hall 2 from 7:30pm (the last half hour of training for that session). If you are a member of the society, please come and vote for the people you want to represent you next year, as we need at the very minimum 20 people for the AGM to happen. No experience is required for the positions themselves, and if you are willing to put some time in to it you will learn some useful and important skills, that will help you out in the "real world" (i.e. CV). For doing this, commitee members also get free lessons, which is pretty good. Members can run for any position, but only once. Thanks, and hope to see you there on Wednesday.

21st November 2009 - Lesson Cancelled and Social

Unfortunatly, this saturday's training session (saturday the 21st November) has been cancelled due to the university needing the sports hall. Fortunatly for us, a social has been organised in its place. This social is a trip to the cinema to see "The men who stare at goats" and we will be seeing it at the The Vue cinema in The Light Complex. We will be meeting there at 3pm for 3:30 showing, hope you can make it.

22nd Novemeber 2009 - Incorrect Information

The Taekwondo seminar detailed previously was (through fault entirely my own) wrongly billed as being in Bradford Sports Centre. This is a lie, and it is in fact going to be held in Aireborough Leisure Centre. This is the Facebook Page which has full information and the original post can be found below (with the right venue). Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

30th October and 7th November - Combined Classes and First Social

Greetings to all. As of Friday the 30th of October the beginners and seniors classes will be merged in to one 2 hour class, so for all the beginners, training now starts an hour earlier (the times are listed to the left).
And in other news, the first big social of the year (hurrah!) will be held on Saturday 7th of November, starting at 5pm in Woody's. The theme of the social is "Drink your name", so wear a (cheap) white t-shirt with your name written on it, and for every letter of your name, drink something that begins with that letter, and then write down on the t-shirt what you drank. It promises to be a great time, so don't miss out. See you there...

22nd November 2009 - Taekwon-Do Seminar
