Family Fun Day, September 2013

An exhausted Bethany

This year’s family fun day seemed to sneak up on us – sandwiched as it was between the return to school for a lot of our members and the September grading.

True to form the weather was superb and the Fun Day was once again a roaring success! Our family fun days are aimed to give a little something back to the club members for all the hard work and dedication that they put into their training throughout the year. They are an opportunity for the club (and family and friends) to socialise more informally than is normally 
permitted in the dojo and have some fun.

And fun was certainly on the cards, between the inflatable pugil stick duels, the surf board simulator, the sumo boxing suits everyone seemed to be having a great time. For some reason the chance to throw sponges of very cold water at a black belt seems to be irresistible, and once again ‘Soak a Shodan’ proved to be one of the highlights of the day!

Thank you to Brenda and Sensei Lorraine for organising such a fun day, and to their legion of helpers who cooked, cleaned, provided a candy floss making machine, and generally made sure that everyone had a great time.

Brenda and Lorraine will now be starting planning our Christmas party, and if anyone wants to help – I’m sure they would welcome it!
