Our 2016 Awards Evening will be held on Saturday 26th November 2016, once again at the Colville Park Country Club, Motherwell, ML1 4UG.

This event is a celebration of our students, and their martial arts achievements throughout the year.  As this is a once a year event, we like to go all out, and glam up for the evening, and as such, its a black tie affair, a bit different to our usual Taekwon-Do suits!

The evening consists of a 3 course meal, awards presentation, black belt presentation, raffle and disco in to the small hours.
