Walk in memory of Mr David Tuck

Mr Tuck's parents Phil and Maria have asked me to inform all the members that they are organising a walk in memory
of David on Sunday 2nd May 2010.  It is a bank holiday weekend and three days before what would have been Davids 27th birthday.
They are starting from Askham to Arthur'sPike.  It is a walk of approximately 8 miles.
If anyone would like to go please see me for details.
If you want to get a sponsor form yourself please email steve@sis-cumbria.co.uk and tell him it's the David Tuck walk.
If you would just like to make a contribution in memory of David, who helped a lot of the students in the club then pass
it to me and I will pass the total onto the charity

Many Thanks

Sad News (Updated)

It is with great sadness that I inform you of the death of Mr David Tuck.
David had been a student at Penrith since 2004.  He was the second person at the club to pass his 1st degree.
He was an excellent student and a good instructor.  He always had time for everyone and over the years has helped 
most students in the club one way or another.
His attitude towards training and teaching should be an inspiration to all
He was a well liked and much valued member of the club and will be missed by all the members.

Northwest Regional Championship

The NW Club Championships will be held on Sunday 25th January at Ashton on Mersey High School, Cecil Avenue, Sale M33 5BP. 
Its a great opportunity to try a local competition before heading to the GTUK National Competitions. 
Last year there was 170 competitors from 20 clubs. Beginners are also very welcome not matter what age or ability. 
You will be looked after so that you enjoy your first experience of competition.

Double Success for Penrith students

Penrith Students Oliver Tallis and Joss Yates went to Coventry on Sunday 20th April to take their black belt examination
It was a long day but at the end of it both students passed and walked (or limped) away with their new belts and certificates.
Both Oliver and Joss started Tae Kwon Do in 2004 and have trained hard for this day.
Special mention should be made for Oliver who is the 1st under 12 black belt from the Penrith club.  He scored very good marks in every category.
