Do you want to join in promoting the club and thus help grow our club bigger and better?

It's easy to do! Assemble a patrol of one adult and 2-5 children. Go to the information desk and fill in the form there with the time and place of your choice from the available options. Each shift is one hour long. During this time, you will receive 150 flyers for your group to distribute.

You can also take posters to hand out. When you have distributed the posters, mark the date of distribution and the place where you have taken the poster in the list.

The advertisement distribution dates are 16.8., 17.8. and 23 August 2014. You can distribute posters whenever you want until the end of the month.

The locations are Kaari Shopping Centre, Pitäjänänmäki Station, Malminkartano Station and the center of Tapiola.

A couple of instructions that are good to remember when distributing ads:

1. If a person is busy, don't disturb them

2. Everyone can be a potential hobbyist

3. Feel free to tell about your own experiences, both good and bad

4. If you don't know something, ask to be contacted by phone or email or ask to visit on weekdays between 5:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.

Taekwondo athletes thank you!

On Wednesday, our gym was visited by young Korean taekwondo experts. Ku Tae Kim and Hye Jin Choi from the World Taekwondo Federation's Taekwondo Peace Corps program led two exercises. There were a lot of kicks, physical exercises and dance suitable for the shows.

Thank you to everyone who participated and especially to Vesa Suomalainen from Lohjan Mudo Taekwondo for the opportunity to train with these positive and enthusiastic whores,
