Another successful grading for CARISMA: 5 yellow belts, 5 orange, 2 orange second, 2 green and one blue were awarded. The technical levels keeps growing so the club it self keeps improving. Well done to everyone for the effort put in it!
Other pictures about the grading are available on Duncan Grisby’s web site.
Grading Dec 2008
We would like to inform everybody that the last lesson of 2008 will be on Tuesday 23 December at Kelsey Kerridge. The first session of 2009 will be on Sunday 4 December at Kelsey Kerridge.
CARISMA, its instructors and the committee wish Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all members in the hope to see you all back for a fantastic beginning in 2009.
The committee has been reviewing the club’s finances recently, and Carisma is overall doing very well. We are growing, slowly but steadily, and each beginners’ course brings new regular members. The existing members have been progressing well by regularly grading to higher belts and we have now 5 black belts, 2 brown, several blue and an interesting number of other medium and beginners ranks.
Our main cost centres, Kelsey Kerridge and Manor Community College, increase their rental fees on an annual basis and since October we increased the training schedule by extending our Monday lesson by an hour. In order to face these raising costs, we are pushed to increase our monthly fees by £2, starting from February 1st 2009:
We would like to invite everybody who pays by standing order to adjust their payment, starting from February, and to ensure that the payment is made on the first day of the month so it reaches us within a few days.
We thank all of our members for the continuous effort and support given to the club that keeps growing stronger, year after year.
Looking forward to start 2009 in a different way? For those who have been delaying exercise and dieting until the New Year here is the opportunity you were waiting for. CARISMA is running a new beginners course, starting on the 20th of January to run for 4 consecutives Tuesday and Thursday classes (e.g. 20, 22, 27 and 29).
If you would like to join (or you know somebody who would like to) please do it on the 20th of January: the club is very close to its full capacity and we might not run another beginners course for a while after this date.
There is no need for booking: please just turn up at 6pm at Kelsey Kerridge Sports Hall, Queen Anne terrace, Cambridge.
