18th August 2010: Tae Kwon Disco: Weymouth Carnival

"Is it really a year since we had that fantastic turnout for the beach demo?"

Well the answer is of course - Yes!

This year Master Rob has arranged a float with a difference. It is themed as Tae Kwon Disco - I hope you like it - it was all Rob's idea.

Everyone is welcome. Members should come in there suits (dopak) and everyone should think "what can I do to reflect UV?"

The float will have UV lights, we will be promoting our club and and generally having fun.

Please make the effort to come along and join in.

August 2010: A New Logo

Our club is about using our skills, motivations and time to help and support each other and our community.

One of our new members, Jason Watkins, has taken the time to create a new logo for our club.

Thank you Jason, I know it took a few attempts but we got there with an excellent new logo.

We will use this to supplement our website, printed materials and posters from now on.

Jason deserves a small plug for his efforts and so we have put his website on our links page and would urge you to talk to him if you have needs for a graphics designer. He is very good with movies!

14th July 2010: Kickathon in aid of Breast Cancer Care
