Yours in Karate Do,

12th June 2016 Grading – Road Closures
Please note that the St. Albans marathon takes place on the same day, so it may affect some of you travelling that way.
We booked the grading for this day to avoid it being the following week on Father’s Day – guess you can’t win.
Please allow extra time for your journey and parking because it will be very busy and some of the roads close.
