NEGC - Results



Well there was a great day had by all, fun all round really with a good atmosphere plus another team trophy was brought home!

Results are... (apologise if I get any wrong)

Tyrone won his 3 fights in very short order against older and heavier opponants to bring home a gold.
Lee came home with gold after some excellent wins against tough opponants
Bill got a bronze after winning decisive victories and giving a bjj brown belt a good fight

I can't quite remember everyone elses results so I'll post them when I have everyones, but we all had a good day.

Marc Walder seminar postponed til July




The seminar with Marc Walder that was originally in June has now had to be postponed until the 27th July as Marc is going in for another knee operation. If you couldn't make the seminar because of the date speak to Dave to try and book a place now it will be worth it!


We all wish Marc the best and a speedy recovery

Discount on supplements at Tesco

Can't remember if this was posted before, but it's worth reminding people. If you present your membership card for the club (or any other gym) you can get 20% off supplements and other vitamins and minerals at the nutricentre in Tesco at Kingston park... Worth it if you use them!
