The grading itself was a real success. Everyone seemed to ‘rise to the occasion’. It was fantastic. The white belts who were grading for the first time didn’t put a foot wrong and all came away with their orange belts. The more experienced kyu grades ‘who know the ropes’ gave 100% and several received that special “good attitude” endorsement from Sensei Brennan at the end!
The following club members were promoted to their next coloured belt:
Orange belt: Michael Banner; Annabel Straw; Alec Purcell; Gregor Purcell; Luke Roberts.
Yellow belt: Jon Straw; William Cranton.
Green belt: Henry Straw.
Purple belt: Andy Wilkinson.
Purple & white belt: Willy Astley.
Brown belt: Izzy Ponsonby.
Brown & white belt: Frank Dennis; George Coates; Jonathan Osborne; Paul Osborne.
Well done to one and all!
