Dear club member,

The Kyu grading dates for 2009 are as follows:

•  March 8 th (Sunday)
•  June 14 th (Sunday)
•  September 19 th (Saturday)
•  December 20 th (Sunday)

Before each grading there will be two Mock gradings, one on Thursday and one on Sunday, of
which you must attend at least one. These mock gradings will precede all Kyu gradings to ensure
that students are fully aware of what they need to do and to maintain a high standard at the club.

To grade, you must demonstrate that you can proficiently complete your current syllabus and be
able to complete all Katas from your previous syllabus! The only other criteria that must be met is
that you have been training an average of twice a week for 3 months.

Please ensure that if you are grading that you bring your red grading book complete with current
KUGB licence and that you allow at least half an hour to register before the lesson start time.
If you pay monthly in advance by standing order you will pay a subsidised training/grading fee.

Grading checklist: Licence, Gi, change of clothes/overgi, small snack + non-fizzy drink, money.

As per normal training, will the parent/guardians of all juniors please ensure that their children
have been to the toilet before the lesson and before the grading!

The lesson before the grading is typically 1.5 hours long and the grading itself is generally up to 3 hours.
I will endeavour to persuade Sensei to grade the lower grades first and get them away as soon as possible.

Unless otherwise stated the pre-grading lesson will start at 14.00 and finish at 15.30 and will be held at Egham Sports Centre.

All students whether grading or not are expected to attend this training session as Sensei has
the uncanny knack of remembering non attendees at future gradings!

Lastly, if the grading falls on a Sunday, normal training times are suspended for this day.
If you have any questions about this note, please don't hesitate in contacting me.

Yours in Budo, Sensei Austin.
