Congratulations to everyone who came along to our end of year grading tonight. A tough and challenging session was laid on by Si-Hing Ste (2TG) and with some great effort everyone passed their respective grades.

Picking up grade 1 was Mike Conroy, grade 2 Tiffany Dodd and Martin Farncombe, getting grade 4 was Pete Bartley and Chris Loveman whilst taking home grade 7 was Andy Neal. Also it was with great pleasure I announced that Andy has officially earned the right to be known as Altrincham's first ever teaching assistant. With great hard work and dedication Andy has shown just what can be achieved within the club. I know you'll all wish him great success and support him and the rest of us in 2011.

For all of you who couldn't make it but are returning in the new year I hope you have a great holiday and see you soon. For all of you who made it even if you didn't grade today thanks for a great event and I wish you the same over the holidays.

Thanks very much and see you in 2011
