07 GRADINGS

Next Grading is in Club on Monday 12th December 2011 : Woughton Centre, MK6 5EJ

There will be a Club Grading at the Woughton Centre at 7pm on Monday 12th December 2011. As it is a Club grading the highest grade possible is Green Belt (3rd kyu). If you are Green belt (or higher) already, you will need to wait for the next Area Grading.
All entrants must hold a full BJC licence and the licence must have a photograph and address details filled out.
The mat fee for the grading will be £5 per person (this is in place of the normal mat fee).

If you wish to take part in the grading, please let one of the coaches know so that they can prepare you for it and complete any paperwork necessary prior to the grading date. The syllabus is downloadable from the BJC Website.
If anyone who grades requires a new belt they will be on sale at £5 each.

As always, any help putting mats down would be appreciated.

Many Thanks
the Coaching Team.
