Taster Sessions: Mowmacre Hill

LE2 6QS

Dear Mowmacre Hill children,

Your head teacher, Mr Peet, has approached me with regards to starting a Taekwon-Do club at your school. As a school teacher myself, I understand how important it is to keep children fit and healthy. As a result, I am able to offer 4 taster sessions. These sessions will be open to all children within the school. The purpose of these sessions is to give you an idea of what Taekwon-do is and for you to see if you would like to give it a go. These taster sessions will also be open to the local community; parents are more then welcome as we would like to offer this as a community event, not just a school event.

I am very happy to offer the following days as taster events.

  • Friday 5th May 2017
  • Thursday 11th May 2017
  • Thursday 18th May 2017
  • Tuesday 23rd May 2017

These sessions will be free and will run from 5pm to 5.45pm.

I look forward to welcoming you all to Leicester Taekwon-Do and adding Mowmacre Hill to the Leicester Taekwon-Do academy.

Kindest regards

Mr Nick Overton

V Degree International Instructor and examiner.
