Important notice regarding gradings

The grading on 19th May at Acomb will be 2pm till 3pm for white, yellow and orange belts followed by the grading for all other belts from 3pm onwards.

The grading on 20th May at Rowlands Gill will now take place at Ebchester - all timings remain the same.

The Dan grading in July will now be split over the weekend.
14th July for those taking their first Dan grading, 10am start.
15th july for 2nd and 3rd Dan grading, 10am start.
As usual Dan gradings are at Stamfordham.

Licences
All students should have a valid up to date licence at all times  however we have noticed at recent gradings that this is not the case.

We have now put the following club rule in place with immediate effect ....
Students who are orange belts or above must present a valid licence at gradings, courses and competitions.  No licence means no participation.

White and yellow belts are recommended to get a licence at the earliest opportunity.

The licence not only acts as a record of your acheivements but is also a required insurance document.
