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.

Garry Allen Completes Sponsored Parachute Jump

On August the 27th 2015 Sensei Gary Allen completed his sponsored parachute jump from 13,000 feet for Kitty.

Gary raised over £1000 which will be going to NeST, The Nephrotic Syndrome Trust.

Thank you to everyone who sponsored Gary.  It’s still not too late – please speak to your instructor or you can sponsor Gary online.

Congratulations to Gary on his very brave effort and for raising such a considerable sum for a very worthy cause!
