WORLD CUP FUND RAISING
It's time to start supporting the efforts of Crawley and Brighton Area students and instructors as fund-raising begins in earnest. The big event so far is the 24-hour marathon class, 25th-26th July from 18:00 at the Roffey Youth Centre in Horsham. Sensei Simon has pledged to do all 24 hours with other senior students and instructors lending extended support. You'll be able to take part or sponsor anyone to train through the night and the next day.

Following that on August 17th will be the Taikenko-su Bike Ride, from Haywards Heath to Crawley - 100 miles in a day. A gruelling test of endurance, at least half a dozen of the Region's finest (and most insane) will be braving hot weather and hard saddles. Be sure to look out in class and pledge to sponsor them - how about a penny-a-mile?
