November Newsletter
Apologies I am very late in getting round to writing a November Newsletter. We've been extremely with weekend events and opening new classes.
Welcome to our New Pemberton Members
Welcome to all our new students who've joined our new Pemberton Dojo in Wigan. The new dojo is based at St Cuthbert's Primary School on Tuesdays and Fridays from 6-7pm.
We have had plenty of new beginners join these classes. Molly Sensei is looking for some helpers for these classes. So if you are from any of our nearby classes and would like to become a Cadet Leader or an Assistant Instructor message us at info@redtigerkarateclub.co.uk.
Two new classes opening
We have added extra classes to our Kings Road and Standish Dojos due to popular demand:
Kings Road Primary School class will be running on Tuesdays as well as Fridays from Tuesday 22nd November.
St Marie's Primary School class will be running on Saturday mornings as well as Thursday evenings from Saturday 19th November.
You can book these classes via the APP.
Sam Jackson Sensei will be adding an extra Denton class in the next few weeks so keep an eye out for more news on that. We will also be opening beginners class at Lowercroft Primary School in Bury after Christmas.
