Members of the 2010 NM Summer Training Camp

Students who went on this years 2010 NM Summer Training Camp flew back into Stanstead Airport in the early hours of Wed 23rd June.

An amazing long weekend of TKD Training was lead once again by Mr Wurr, who again proved to be informative, helpful, challenging and entertaining to all the students who attended. All of the usual TKD syllabus area were covered in detail, and some areas of TKD that are not always touched upon were dealt with.

As for the past 3 years, the Camp was at the gorgeous Spanish village of Mojacar. Stunning weather was in abundance, and students had the opportunity of scuba diving with instructors from the local PADI dive centre. Despite a few amusing moments with the language (the hand signals under the water were fine) the group had a wonderful dive. 1st time diver Tracy did especially well, displaying an amazing amount of courage and application of the tenets, but the dive will be especially remembered by Mr Newton, who seemed to have formed a wonderful bond with his diving instructor...... (details of which may be bribed out of the rest of us).

It is always a sad moment when we part at the airport and go our separate ways, but this is a testament to friendships old and new which are formed on these annual training camps. Friendships like these last a lifetime.

I know that I speak for all the people who went on this years camp when I say a massive Ty to Mr Wurr for organising an amazing experience, and for his inspirations instruction, help and guidance.

If anyone wants to know more about the NM Summer Training Camps, or are interested in attending next year, just speak with anyone who has been on any of the trips. It is a life changing experience and you will form bonds and friendships that will last a life time. To those who didn't make it this year, we missed you, but expect to see you next year.

John takes up the story.

"Struck lucky today whilst at work as you will soon see.

Whilst checking on some landscape work at a establisment the site manager claimed frank bruno had just gave him a signed autographed photo of him, at first i did not beleive him till he produced the evidence. I asked if i could meet him and the reply was i dont think so he's busy, but me being me, I waited till site manager had disappeared and low and be hold frank was sat in a room looking out the window.

I then called out franks name and he came to the door and asked what up mate. I asked if he would not mind me having my photo taken with him. His reply was have you a camera and some one to take the photo. My answer was yes, so i fetched a work college had my photo taken and had a laugh and joke with him".
