So tired I can’t think straight, so apologies if this newsletter reads particularly badly. We had a Biker Rally at the club this weekend, 150 Triumph Club members have pitched tents on our sports fields to party for their annual gathering. I was in the kitchen at 7am and did a nine hour shift with no break. Not only serving the bikers but still delivering the usual teas to 120 hockey players too! Why is it that as soon as your brain knows you have to get up earlier than usual and with a responsi

Was floored with some tragic news this week. A lovely kid who used to train with us took his own life. He trained from age 8 to 14 but stopped a couple of years ago.

We’d heard he wanted to come back but the decision to actually do it, knowing he’d be coming to train with the other guys his age who never stopped training and have surpassed his skill level, must have been so hard, especially for a 16 year old boy who used to be pound for pound one of

Final Week Before Takeover (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My coach for the last five years and the black belt who gave me my black belt, taught his last class at his gym (as owner - we expect him to teach the odd class when he’s back on family visits). He’s now handed over to us and I’m guessing it can’t have been easy but he’s not one to get emotional and he is going to live in The Bahamas so I’m not sad for him either.While it wasn’t something we were seeking to do, since the decision to takeover rather than lose the gym was made, things have transit
