Instructors

We now have a new instructor structure.
*Senior instructors (executives of White Lotus)
*Instructors (insured)
*Trainee (working to be insured asap)
*Provisional (low grades and under 16's who need time to gain experience)

If you are any one of these and do not have your picture on the website please see Sandy Newman now.
The aim is to launch new clubs and advertise in conjunction with our 10th anniversary in January. We need to be a lean mean admin machine by then.
(Mike and Steph - what would I do without you?)
The compulsory first aid /defib course is coming up - cost £15 - please bring to class in the next few weeks so that Flo can get paperwork ready.
This is a recognised qualification.
All instructors - no matter what level, need to attend. 15th November 1.00 - 5.30
All instructors who are not CRB checked need to get that done now!

Mixed Martial Arts

Gradings going well - Keep up the good work.
If you want to start ground fighting you will need a GI (white jacket) so that your t-shirt does not get ripped.

Courses

To make students/parents aware again:
When course leaflets are handed out we understand that you want to book a place before you have the money - it is ok to give us the form without the money - but once the form is handed in you will be charged even if you do not turn up!

Standardisation

The new syllabus books have been ordered and will arrive soon. Cost £5.
