There has been a change in the Spirit committee, and we now have a new Treasurer, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The Spirit Taekwon-Do Group constitution allows for the committee to appoint a new Treasurer in the case where the position becomes vacant mid-term. (Clause 12.6)

Mr D'arcy Mellsop has been the Treasurer of Spirit Taekwon-Do since we first became an incorporated society, and he has done a fantastic job of setting up all the systems and processes needed to keep our organisation ticking over. Ms Fisher will be able to transition easily into the role and this is a real credit to Mr Mellsop's attention to detail and process.

A huge thank you to Mr Mellsop for all his effort over the past years. And congratulations to Ms Fisher!

Members will have recently received an email from the immediate past Treasurer, Mr D'arcy Mellsop, reminding you of the fee increase about to take effect. These changes were signalled some time ago and are now upon us.

Please attend to these changes as soon as possible.

There are two key things that have to be remembered if you are to receive the discount for automatic payment.

1) The payment MUST be set up for the 25th of the month. Payment in each month is for the following month's training.

2) The payment MUST include a reference to a) your school, b) your last name,  and c) the initial of your first name. If payment is for more than one person then include the first initial of each person.   The school references are BRK for Brooklyn, KAR for Karori and THO for Thorndon.  Example: Brooklyn students David, Frank and Erin Smith would have the reference details BRK Smith D F E

If you have any questions then please ask your instructor or email the new Treasurer, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

The management team of the National/Oceania Tournament in Wellington in July are looking for helpers. Help is also required for the World Championships too, with many of the same people involved in the organisation.

This is actually a great opportunity to get involved in a once-in-a-lifetime experience! How many people do you know with “Organised World Championships” on their CV?  The Nationals are going to be run as a testing ground for the Worlds, and to top it off it is also doubling as the Oceania Championships as well.

You can register your interest to help out at the Nationals on form on the ITFNZ web page. There is no doubt that you will also have the opportunity to help out at the Worlds as well.

This is not just for senior members of the schools. Anybody can help out, be it a training member (even you brand new people!), parent, partner, friend... anyone!  For black belts ... this will count towards contribution credits. This doesn’t have to be a huge commitment... even if you can only help out a little bit, please go ahead and register.
