Holly and Edward Curl (and Kalpana!) On the 1st November me, my brother Edward and my mum travelled to Northampton to take the assessment for our Black Belts in Karate. We have been doing Shotokan Karate for six years and have taken 17 grading exams during this period. We had undergone some intense training in the months leading up to the big day. After a one hour written exam and four hours of a practical examination we were congratulated and told we had passed. We were exhausted yet happy. Our karate licenses were stamped, dated and signed by the head of TISKA (Traditional International Shotokan Karate Association). It was a day we will never forget and we are very proud of what we have achieved. However it doesn’t stop at Black Belt! – We are currently 1st Dans and are now working towards 2nd Dan. Holly Curl Kieran and Daniel Lindars We both did 3 triathlons this year and did very well. The first was at Swindon where we both won our age groups. Next we travelled to Kings Langley and I came 2nd (by 15 seconds) and Daniel came 3rd. The following weekend was the most competitive, with triathlon clubs coming from all over London but I came 2nd (only by 7 seconds) and Daniel again came 3rd. In the swim Daniel's distance is 200m and mine is 300m, although it is the smallest in distance of the 3 disciplines it is the stamina from the swimming training that helps to get me to the end of the whole triathlon. Kieran Ciara Connick Linley Ciara took part at the Renrukan Judo Club Championships at Meadowcroft on 3rd October winning a silver medal in the 24kgs and under girls category. She had a bout to decide the gold and silver medal which was well fought and she did extremely well as this was her first judo competition. Liz Connick
