There will be a lot of firework displays happening locally on 5th November in Dumbarton & Dalmuir, so it may be very difficult to get to the club. The Meadow Centre’s car park may be used by some people to park for the Dumbarton event.

So the decision was taken to close the club for the night. This also lets the kids have a night off from training to enjoy the firework displays.

Training will resume as normal on Tuesday 10th November.

However, I would like input from as many people as possible on what sort of colour scheme you guys would like, after all this site is for all of us in woskf. Even if you have other ideas, for example: how the navigation looks/works, banner options, fonts used, silver colour scheme, black colour scheme, minimalistic look, etc.
Are there any sites you like the look of that you would like to try and have this site recreate then please let me know.

I am also looking to get images from you guys so that I can have a bank of images to make the site more interesting and as fresh as possible. These images can be from practice to competitions, what ever you feel would be good for the site would be helpful.

Kirkintilloch is a a club that hardly gets any exposure here, and I would like to change that. So if any students at the kirky club would like to be an author of these pages, so that information can be published about the club to keep their students up to date, then please let Andy know so that I can create an account for those students.

I need your support on this & I hope that everyone has some input on what they would like to see as their site.

To have your say, you can either email me direct at davy@woskf.co.uk or you can leave a comment for this post below.

The main reason for this is that wordpress has sent out an update, and I would like to change a few of the codes, and it would be a lot easier if I had a fresh install of wordpress.
So please give me some feedback…

Thank you

The video page is protected so you will need to have a username and password for this page. Please email me (davy at woskf.co.uk) and I will give you the link, a username  & a password.

Billy is going to try and get these onto a disc for some students, if they want to have them.

Note: the videos are not performed perfectly, they are slowed down, but they are just to be used as a training aid, they are in no means meant to teach you how to do it properly.

on a side note, if any student would like a woskf.co.uk email address just email me, and I will set it up and give you the details on how to set up your email client, I have about 20 email addresses left

Deklyn has always shown a natural ability in martial arts but it is his enthusiasm and determination which has seen him progress through the grades. Deklyn has a great attitude towards training and has great discipline. He also has a song for every occasion the only complaint I have about this is I wish he would get better taste in music as I end up singing it for the rest of the week!! Deklyn’s ability and determination has not gone unnoticed and head instructor Andy McCracken has invited Deklyn to train in the adult Kung Fu class.

Well done on this great achievement Deklyn!!!

From,

Amy, all the little panthers and everyone at kung fu X
