Stuart Maxwell, Shukokia Karate, is attempting to get Iain to the Centre to conduct a seminar later in the year (12th Oct). If Stuart is successful in this I would envisage that the seminar will be well attended so register your interest as soon as possible when the date is confirmed.

2006                          2008

Work within  the Centre will continue as funds are made available.

So with the help of the Clubs and their students I see no reason why the Centre cannot become the best martial art facility in Fife.

The Centre will be holding a summer raffle and have received the following prizes -

Signed - Hearts FC shirt, rugby ball Scotland Rugby Team, Dunfermline FC football,

Dundee Utd have pledged tickets for a game,

"Firefighter For the Day".

THANK YOU.

We need more prizes, so if you could contribute please contact someone on the contact list.  

Cllr Ross Vettraino visited the Centre on Tuesday 29th January 2008 and was impressed with what the Charity was trying to acheive.

After discissions with members of the committee Cllr Vettraino now understands the difficulties they have in raising funds to carry out essential work within the Centre. He stated that he would assist the charity in any way that he could.

Cllr Vettraino stayed for some time watching the kids train and talking to their parents. He also voiced any interest in returning to the Centre to watch Club competions and present prizes.
