Dear Parents & Students:

On Saturday November 3rd, 2007, our school will be holding our first Invitational Tournament. Over the years we have held inter-school tournament, but this year for the first time we will be inviting outside schools to participate.

There will be divisions for age 5 and up, including adults or all rank groups. We request participation from all students as tournaments are an important element in your education. If you for some reason cannot participate please advise your instructor ASAP. The cost of this event is $40 for 1 to 2 divisions, there are no costs associated with spectators as with most tournament. Cameras and video are welcome. The event will start at 10:00am sharp and students should bring lunches with them. We are planning on also having a concessions stand available to sell hotdogs, pop and other items.

Applications are now available and should be returned paid no later than November 2nd . This tournament will be held at Talbot Trail Public School. Don’t miss this exciting event! It is a chance to test your skills in a safe and fun environment.

Thank you for your support!
