I'm quite proud of the fact I've been able to program my Taekwondo Club's website to show the flying shark we'll be having at our party tomorrow - actually flying on the website. Not just a pretty face. www.daventrytigers.co.uk/christmas-pa...

First medal of the day - and it's GOLD! Well done, Sian, on your first ever competition! British Champion in patterns.

At this point, I think there's merit in the proposition we should get a medal for just reaching the Arena!!!
