AGM
This year’s AGM was held via Zoom on Wednesday 22nd May 2024. Due to increasing commitments Carly Barrett-Greening has had to step down from the position of Club Safeguarding Officer (but will continue to be involved in this role with the GKI). This position has been taken over by Hannah Davis whose contact details are hannahloudavis@yahoo.co.uk Please welcome Hannah to the club.
Alice Mango has stepped down as Club Secretary and Sheilagh Anderson has taken over this role.
The Club would like to thank both Carly and Alice for all of their hard work, commitment and dedicated involvement over the previous years.
Club Fees
Club fees have remained the same for several years and Sensei Pete has always worked towards keeping them as low as possible. The rise in cost of living has finally affected the club financial situation and the committee agreed at the AGM that it is essential to increase the fees across the board.
The Club does not want current members to feel that they are unable to continue due to this rise. Please contact Sensei Pete directly if you need to discuss this.
The new fees are as follows:
| Juniors (6 – 18) | Monthly fee |
| Karate | £30 (standing order / cash) |
| £32 (cheque) | |
| Seniors (18+) | |
| Karate or Kobudo | £40 (standing order / cash) |
| £42 (cheque) | |
| Both Karate & Kobudo | £60 |
A family group of 1 adult plus 2 or more children should add £5 to the adult fee.
