The spirit and camaraderie shown by all competitors at the event shone through. My thanks to Matt Snell and his super team of black belts, my fellow Instructors, Francis Hadley, Paul Poulain, Laurent Zammit , Paul Jackson, Neil Beasley and Steven Smith who work so hard with all the children. In addition I would like to thank all the parents of the children for their continued support in everything we do”.
