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.

 

North West Championship Result

On Sunday 24th February several members of the Penrith Tae Kwon Do school traveled to the David Lloyd sports centre in Manchester to take part in the the GTUK North West England Tae Kwon Do championships.
For most of them it was the first time they had been in a competition and with over 200 competitors from all over northern England it was an exciting day..
Everyone enjoyed themselves and two members came back with trophies.
Bradley Quail had an excellent first competition and won silver in both sparring and patterns and Oliver Tallis won silver in sparring.
Everyone enjoyed themselves and they are all looking forward to the British championships in April and the Scottish championships in May.
