Invitation to all KDA-UK Students

On Saturday, August 1 2009, Hadley Stadium will be having an Open Day. People from the surrounding areas are free to look at the different sports and activities that are available in the stadium. This will include a few sports like Basketball, Football, Trampolining, Athletics and, of course, Karate.

Hadley Stadium has served as a home for KDA Karate classes for over a year now. It's about time wegave something back.

We are inviting all KDA students to take part in a small training session this coming Saturday at the Top Gymnasium of Hadley Stadium. The class will start at 1:30 pm and finishes at 3:30pm.

Think of this as an oppurtunity for you to meet new people and experience what other classes are like.

If anyone is interested please inform us via email or via call or text.

Thank you very much for your continued support!
