The Third Alan Yates Memorial Trophy Night was held at Pratten Sports and Social Club on Saturday 4th July 2015.  The club honoured Alan this year by holding a hog roast in his memory.  All his family were invited to the third special presentation evening, and Alan's parents were presented with a glass tear drop trophy with a letter from heaven which read.

When tomorrow starts with out me,

And I'm not here to see,

If the sun should rise and find your eyes,

Filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn't cry,

The way you did today,

While thinking of the many things

we didn't get to say,

I know how much you love me,

As much as i love you,

And each time you think of me,

I know you'll miss me too,

When tomorrow starts without me,

Don't think we're far apart,

For every time you think of me,

I'm right there in your heart.

The club further Honoured Alan by presenting the Alan Yates Memorial Shield

to this year’s winner Zack Bartlett.

The final award of the evening was the Sensei Wayne Cup which went to Purdy Annabelle Junge for outstanding effort.

All the members and family had a very good evening.

Congratulations go to Mrs Marie Jane Woolf who successfully passed her 1st Dan black belt grading on 2 August 2016.

Marie Jane trained from 1983 to 1992 under Sensei Wayne Teall at what was then known as Midsomer Norton Karate Club, the oldest and longest running Karate Club in Somerset at that time.  Sensei Wayne Teall 6th Dan U.B.S.K., 5th Dan Shi-Kon, 4th Dan J.K.A. travelled to Bergerac in France to conduct Marie Jane’s Dan grading. Mrs Woolf tried unsuccessfully for black belt under Sensei Keinosuke Enoeda in 1992 following which she decided to call it a day with Karate and concentrate her efforts on her education, which proved very successful with her endeavours leading to her running her own business. 

Marie Jane Woolf contacted Sensei Teall a year ago about the Karate work shop as advertised on the UBSK Norton Radstock Shotokan Karate Club website and wondered would he take up the challenge, which naturally he did.  Marie Jane worked hard on all the techniques of karate with the aid of ‘Vol1 My Way in Karate, by Sensei Teall, as well as building up her Kata, and her Kumite which had always been and remained very good. Sensei Teall conducted training sessions for 2 hours a day in Bergerac, building up to Marie Jane successfully undertaking and passing her black belt grading.   

If there is any one out there that was unsuccessful in achieving their Karate Dan grade black belt and would like to try the workshop please feel free to contact Sensei Teall.
