First Karate Club Social

The first social of the Shinbukan Karate Club (Also known as the UKC Karate Club) will take place on Saturday 1st October. We will be meeting up either in front of the Venue at 7.30pm or at the pub The Monument in town (at St Dunstan's, opposite the Parish Church) at around 8.00pm and start having fun. We will be visiting a lot of pubs, laughing, singing, dancing, chatting, accompanied by lots of fun and some drunken karate!

Drinking alcohol is NOT compulsory. Don't worry if you don't drink, just join us for the fun and get to know the Karate Peeps!

Committee Handover

The new committee for the academic year 2011-12 has been elected and the old committee has handed over the club to its new committee on Monday 6th June. Here is the new committee:
President: Simoneel Chawla
Secretary: Rose Curtis-Marof
Treasurer: Robert Bellchambers
Social Secretary: James Tolson

As was decided by the committee last year, the elections for the team captains will take place in the beginning of the new academic year to allow for new members to stand up for the positions if they wish to do so.

Good luck to the new committee with their jobs!
