End of year awards
Thursday 23rd Dec saw the last training session and end of year awards Christmas party , may we take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported the club to date.
KSD Student of the year
With this award we consulted the cmaa as we wanted this award to really mean something to the person awarded ,after much consideration it was agreed that the person receiving it should be awarded their next grade , this is not set in stone for the future as the student would have to know the KSD syllabus for the grade awarded , this is also upto and including 2nd Kyu ,no grade promotions above this.
