21st April 2010

 A massive well done goes to the new Stoke Gifford degree grades. Fran White, Liz Ward & Shelley Armorgie all performed at a regional degree grading headed by Master Nicholls & Master Deedigan.

The day began with a two hour Master Nicholls seminar, which was very physically demanding. The ladies then had a short break before a three hour grading which included patterns, sparring & power breaking. The expectations from the Master examiners were high, & I’m pleased to say that all three excelled in their indomitable spirit & gave 100% to everything that was thrown at them

After many pieces of smashed wood were moved to one side the students were asked to line up as Master Nicholls prepared to announce the results. Liz was announced as giving one of the best performances of the grading by Master Nicholls & promoted to 2nd Degree. Then I was pleased & proud to announce the new promotions of Shelley Armorgie to 1st Degree & Fran White to 3rd Degree.

The ladies then had a couple of hours to recuperate before attending a banquet with Master Nicholls where they were presented by him with their new belts. The rest of the evening was left to relax & celebrate a very successful day.

Congratulations ladies
