| News Item: Who is going for their next degree in 2012? - it's a team effort!! |
 The following people have registered their intention to attempt to grade for their next Black Belt Degree in 2012. The journey of a black belt can be quite lonely and there is a long way between goals. So if one of these people is in your club then why not take an interest in their progress, Ask them how they are preparing, maybe even offer your time and encouragement to help them prepare.
It takes the whole club to make a good black belt - not just the instructor and the student - so don't just sit back and watch - be part of their success.
Trying for 2nd Degree in 2012 - Andrew Brownrigg - Melbourne
- Chris Currey - Sutherland
- Garry Graham - Port Maquarie
- Justine Lobb - Pittwater/Byron Bay
- Kelly Feetam - Central Coast
- Melissa Rees - Central Coast
- Michael Little - Central Coast
- Reimer Ganzevoort - Central Coast
- Russell Grearson - Castle Hill
- Sydney Canja - Pittwater
- Terry Turner - Tyalgum/Murwillumbah
Trying for 3rd Degree in 2012
Trying for 4th Degree in 2012
Trying for 5th Degree in 2012
Minimum Time between gradings for Black Belts
Black belt techniques are usually more difficult than the coloured belt techniques and require a lot of time to get right. The following times are guidelines only and indicate how much time is normally taken to learn and perfect the techniques of each grade. It is common for black belts to take 10 years or longer to achieve their 4th Degree Black Belt. - 1st Degree to 2nd Degree – 2 years of training
- 2nd Degree to 3rd Degree – 3 years of training
- 3rd Degree to 4th Degree – 4 years of training
- 4th Degree to 5th Degree - 5 years of training, etc...
This year there will be two Black Belt Gradings: Northern NSW Spring Camp - 21-23 Sep 2012 Sydney Black Belt Grading - Pittwater - Sat 17 Nov 2012 - 1:30pm
Good luck to all pre-graders - train hard - fight easy!!

| News Item: Relay for Life (Cancer Council) |
 I am walking in this event in our area on the 10th March to the 11th March 2012.
Our team, (Far North Coast Rural Fire Service) must have one member walking at all times during the event.
If I can get $1,000 in sponsorship I will make every effort to walk as much of the 24Hrs as I can.
I have $400 in sponsorship so far, so how about helping out? It is a great cause.
My personal current goal is $500.00 but when that is reached I will up it to $1000.00 so if you want to put me in pain and work me hard, please help out the Cancer Council by sponsoring me or someone else in a local event in your area.
Cheers, Terry Turner - Northern NSW Hapkido
