This year’s charity event will be focusing on one national charity, Help for Heroes, who raise funds for the rehabilitation of injured armed forces personnel. This organisation which only started in 2007 has been very successful in its promotion of this cause and for every £1 donated they now pass on £1.10. To find out how they manage to do this and to see how the money raised is used visit their website www.helpforheroes.org.uk
We hope as many as possible will be able to support this worthy endeavour by getting sponsors and taking part in either a set amount of one-minute rounds of sparring, or the same amount of time performing your TKD patterns, or a mix of both.
There are three choices of rounds/minutes you can chose to do: 100, 50, or 25. There will be a ten second changeover time after each round as sparring partners rotate, and a three minute rest every 25 rounds.
In order to minimise the risk of injury all sparring is to be conducted using strtict light/touch contact rules as there will be a mixture of varying grades and abilities taking part and we want as many as possible, hopefully everyone, to succeed in completing their goal.
TKD Uniforms & belts are not required and fancy dress for the more adventurous are very welcome as last year’s outfits did bring a smile to many faces.
An inflatible slide will also be available to help keep younger family members and students entertained A barbeque and refreshments will be available after the event with any profits made going to the charity.
If you can’t attend but would still like to help out then a link from the GTI website to make an online donation to ‘Help for Heroes’ will soon be made available.
Start time: 3.30pm
NB. Many thanks to Headmaster Mr. Kieran Montague for providing the premises free of charge.
