I hope all of you are having a great summer and enjoying the warm weather. Before we get too far along into the summer, I wanted to take the time to update everyone on the activities and events that have happened, are happening and are going to happen shortly. Have a very safe and happy summer!
Fall Session Registration
Fall session starts on Thursday, September 6th. The fall session tends to be a very busy time with new registrations and returning students. In order to better manage class enrolment and sizes we would like to ask all returning students to respond to this e-mail and confirm their registration prior to Thursday, July 12th. Returning students will be given first opportunity to register for the fall session, registrations received after this date will be placed on a waiting list, depending on class size.
Please note: If you have previously completed an enrollment/registration form, you do not need to complete it again. Registration fees can be paid on the first day of class. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

| Canada Day 151 Demonstration On July 1st, thirteen members of the New Hamburg Karate Cub participated in the Canada 151 celebration in New Hamburg. We were warmly greeted by a great crowd on a very warm day. Thank you so much to the following students for working so hard to put the demonstration together. Thank you to everyone who came out to cheer us on and celebrate Canada Day with us. It was an awesome day!

| Summer Session and Weapons Classes Just another reminder that we will be holding some classes outside on the “nice” days. Please bring along your running shoes and socks to classes during the summer session. For students in the Senior Kids class and adult class, we will be starting back up with our weapons training. Students are required to have a Bo staff for these classes (I will be bringing along a few extras for those who forget). These can be purchased at most stores where lumber is sold. What to ask for at the store: -Straight hard wood dowelling (without too much of a warp in it) -Width: 1 1/4 inch -Length: The length of the student’s arms and chest (finger tip to finger tip). I would recommend adding another inch or two if you are still growing, so you don’t outgrow it by the end of the summer. Please let Sensei know if you have any questions. Tameshiwari (board breaking class) We will be again conducting a board breaking seminar on Thursday, Aug 30th (7:30 to 9pm) for students in the adult class. There will be an approximate $25 fee (final price yet to be determined) to cover the cost of the wood. We are asking student to preregister to help us determine the amount of wood we will need. There will be a sign up sheet posted at the back of class. Special thanks to Kurt Lowrick and Ray Roth for helping to organize the event. |    |
