1st Shukokai Invitational Championships	03-08-2008
Our team of 15 competitors all made their way to the Hereford Leisure Centre for 9am Sunday morning - just where you want to be on a Sunday morning - right parents? The events kicked off at around 10 with individual kata. Our kata competitors did us proud with Bella Jarvis - Max Pemberton - brother Jordan - Michael Hackman and Charlie Foster all taking 1st place in their divisions. Naomi Marshall also reached a kata final and took 2nd place and Daniel Hopper came 3rd. A fantastic result!
The team did pretty good in kumite too. Naomi Marshall - Jordan Pemberton - Charlie Foster and Lian Fletcher all achieved 1st places while Bella Jarvis - Max Pemberton - Daniel Wignall - Jack Hipwood and Melissa Clayton all achieved 3rd places, a fantastic result of 15 medals from 15 competitors!
My thanks to the parents for their support, especially to Ian Fletcher for taking many of the photos. Also to Sensei Kim Adams for organising the event and also to Sensei Tom Beardsley for his kind invitation.
