The closing date for the Coach Seminar is 11 February 2011. You are aware that a late payment fee of $30 will be imposed to deter late submission. This is because the organizers require the final numbers to decide on the venue for the seminar. Your co-operation to meet the deadline will be appreciated.

You are aware that club leaders and non-pass holders who are black belts can attend the seminar for their general knowledge.

The earlier decision to allow the non-pass holders to apply for passes without attending the induction course has been rescinded. It is believed that it will be better for them to attend the induction course to have a better understanding of their responsibilities as coaches.

We apologize for any misunderstanding and inconvenience caused.

Although the 5km run was not much to crow about, the members’ initiatives and efforts were something to talk about. They helped raised $1,385 for the Singapore Cancer Society research program when many of their friends would rather take their well-deserved rest.

Said Koh Poh Ling, the Chief Instructor of the Group, “We are taking our first step towards encouraging our members to use their qualities and abilities to serve the community. And we are glad that we have the support of their parents. What’s more, family members of fourteen of the participants joined in the charitable event.”

The Singapore Taekwondo Federation is delighted to note that members of the group are living up to the pledge which is made by all its members.
