Student of the Month
Well done to our Wednesday Student of the Month winners Gordon Skinner and Idris Wagemakers. Both students put in a great effort and deserve their win. Unfortunetly I've been a bit disorganised in January with photos and medals but they are an important aspect of the club, students should be recognised for the continued hard work they put in and this is particularily important in children. So I'll be back on top of things for February Student of the Month!
Squad Training
On Sunday we will have our second Faolchu Squad training in Tuam Total Fitness Solutions. Train times are
Little Wolves 10:00 - 11:00
Childrens Karate 10:30 - 11:30
Adults Class 11:30 - 12:30.
Please remember to bring your card to be stamped for the hoodie and mascot.
6 Squad classes attended this year will merit a squad hoodie and 8 will get a hoodie and mascot.

Your Old Clothes!
Our first squad event is already planned, The Piltown Championships. Faolchú attended the competition last year, had great success and a nice time getting to know each other as a club over the weekend.
This year the event will be on the 26th of February.
To help with funding the squad we are looking for your old clothes! We would appreciate if all club members and their families could donate used clothes, handbags, shoes, sheets or belts (no curtains, quilts, pillows and non clothing items) and bring them along to class on the last week of January. We can then trade them in a "Clothes for Cash" scheme where they offer 50c per kilo. These clothes are taken to countries like Russia or the Ukraine where they have a resale value.
Thanks for your support.
