To help raise money for Tsunami we are taking part in a joint
fundraising project with Dave's Kung Fu group & Paul's Taijutsu
group. The mornings sponsored events are closed to the public but we
are opening the doors to the general public in the afternoon.

We want as many students to participate in the fundraising as
possible, even if you cannot take part in the sponsored events there
are still lots of things you can do to help.

WE NEED

Prizes for the raffle (time to off load those unwanted Christmas
presents).
Items suitable for the jumble sale, such as videos – DVD's – books
etc.

THE SPONSORED EVENTS

1 Hour Sparring
1000 Punches
1000 Kicks
1000 Sword Cuts
5 Mile Run (must be over 16 years old)

Trev, Dave, Paul, Andy & Glynn are all getting waxed (our chance to
see them in pain) to help raise money.
Ask your Instructor for a sponsor form or you can download one from
the Files section.

PUBLIC AFTERNOON EVENTS

These events are starting at about 1pm with a martial arts
demonstration by the BMAA's Team Evolution & a Lion Dance by the
Shaolin Kids.

Events to take part in:

Power Punch Contest: power is not enough, you need good accuracy to
get a high score & win a prize.

Kid Sword & Shield Sparring: supervised by qualified instructors,
using foam swords and sports shields.

Kendo Tryout: put on the armour and hit someone with a big stick
(sounds like fun to me).

Manicures & Hair twists: look good feel good (phone to book your
place in advance to avoided disappointment).

We also have a raffle, Jumble Sale (mostly new items), Face Painting
& much more. We are having a disco in the evening that's starting
around 7pm.

All money raised will go to the British Red Cross to aid their
logistics team working in Sri Lanka one of the countries most
affected by the tidal waves. The logistics team is co-ordinating the
arrival of all Red Cross relief goods being sent to Sri Lanka,
ensuring they reach those who need them most.
