Do the clubs do anything special for the students at Christmas? like have a christmas party or disco or something, to get everyone together? just a thought.    Report

Hiya, We have held them before, but we've been a bit slack recently,  I think we held one Christmas do in April one year lol.  I'll mention it to Eric, since most things end up being organised by him (or Ken).  Anyone else want to join in the conversation.  Come on, u lot r so boring sometimes.      Report

Hi yes we did used to hold christmas 'disco's' but again it is the same people organising & turning up - so if anyone wants to take a turn at organising a'do' please let me know - & would students from all clubs attend? Organising these events does take up Eric & mine's time - & then if you don't get the support......we have Sakagami sensei coming down to host a course soon, we have a Brown/Black Belt course & A Dan Grading organised (see seminar page) plus this weekend me, Eric, John, Peter & Tom are off to Maidenhead for 3 days for Japanese Master courses/European championships all these things take time & money to organise - I hope that answers your question - yes it is a great idea I agree with  you! cheers    Report

If you have a party during April - Nov for example Mike will not attend or it will be unlikely as he is down his caravan every weekend (i think he may have gone to 1 party we did some years back).i have tried before to get him to go but he would not budge , and if Mike does not go usually his pupils do not go or only a few go . The other problem was getting a date that will suit everyone ....ie who will be on holiday or who will be at work or is going out the same evening ...etc . It may be something worth thinking about for next year but only if everybody in the association , including Mike , is willing to get involved with ...ie attend the party ..., so we all need to support the function if it is to be successful and not end up like previous events ....dead as the dodo .    Report

Hi all, Geraldine has offered to organise something , thanks, although we're close to Christmas now so February is probably a more reasonable date for this.  Well done to those taking the Dan grading yesterday,  Peter (now 3rd dan - well overdue) and Tom (now 2nd dan).   Regards, John    Report

I know I will attend and will try and get Mike to go although I have been informed that this is something he tends to miss. I would have offered to do it myself but I am organising a school reunion for later in the year. Congratulations to all the students who graded on 14th and 21st December 2006. All students passed Woohoo. And to Tony for winning the house cup for the end of the year. Well deserved (Applause). May I wish all at East London Wado Kai a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2007. Eat, drink and be merry and stay safe. All the best, Sue (Newham)    Report
