It’s nearly time!
The most awesome event of our CKD year is just two weeks away! Some of you have expressed difficulty in registering yourself for the seminar on the home page of the international website. It seems that a number of you have been clicking on the poster of the London seminar and not the big green button directly underneath that says "register now". If you still can’t get it to work, see Master Brophy and he will get you sorted.
The itinerary for the day is as follows:
9.00am Registration begins
9.30am Children's seminar begins
10.15 - 10.20 there will be a quick break while the children aged 4 – 7 years of age break off (due to their inability to concentrate for longer periods than this, they of course may rejoin the group if they wish).
10.20 - 11.00 Children’s seminar continues (age group remaining 8 - 13 years of age).
11.00 - 11.30 Questions.
11.30 - 12.15 Lunch break (a buffet for Grandmaster Choi & school owners has been laid on in the crèche).
12.15 - 13.00 Photo's & Demonstration Teams (if you wish to include your demonstration team please let me know asap we are working on a 10min slot per team).
13.00 - 15.00 Adults all ranks seminar.
15.00 - 16.00 Black belt session.
16.00 Questions and seminar ends.
The leisure centre has large restaurant/canteen open to the public so students can bring their own food or use this facility.
