The President and Management Committee of the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) cordially invite all members of the various departments – for example grading department, tournament department, etc, club leaders, instructors and volunteers for a Chinese New Year gathering which will be held on Saturday 4 February 2017 at 7.00pm at the National Training Centre.

It will be a simple gathering which provides participants the opportunity to let their hair down, network and have fun. Food and soft drinks will be served.

If you are attending the event, please inform any of the Secretariat staff – Jolene, Rosalind, or Audrey – by telephone (6345 1491) or email (stkdf@mail.com) by Friday 27 January 2017. Chairmen of the various departments may co-ordinate with their members and informed the office the number from their department coming.

The STF will only cater for those who inform the office that they will be attending so that there will be no wastage. Your co-operation is appreciated.

Have a great Lunar New Year!
