Tae Kwon Do Event - In Memory of Poppy and Amalie
On 25 November 2007, Kelly Caple, Rob Robinson, Samantha Walker, Simon Marshall, Georgina Boucher, Jemma Davies, Nadya Mounsor, Jenni Theedam, Charlotte Lee and Sarah Dee from Gloucester Severn Tae Kwon Do club took part in a sponsored “pattern-a-thon” at Hucclecote Community Centre.
The aim was for each person to complete 120 patterns in two hours. The number of pattern repetitions would vary, for example a 2nd Dan knows 15 patterns, so would repeat each of those 15 patterns 8 times in order to do 120. A blue belt, however, knows 6 patterns so they would need to repeat those 6 patterns 20 times in order to complete the challenge.
Everybody successfully completed the challenge and £1,000 has been raised.
