Gurumu 1st Annual Dinner & Dance and Award Ceremony

Dear Gurumu Members, Friends and Family,

On behalf of Gurumu Taekwondo, I am writing to thank you for attending our 1st Annual Dinner & Dance and Award Ceremony on Saturday 17th January 2009.

It is the first time that Gurumu have held such an event on such a large scale. This was a new experience for the Gurumu Management Team and a big learning curve too. I would therefore like to take this opportunity to thank you for the support that you have shown towards our growth and development.

The Gurumu organisation team have worked extremely hard in order to make the evening a success. We wanted it to be enjoyable, fun and an exciting evening, all at the same time. We hope that in your eyes Gurumu has delivered the promises that were made at the beginning of this event.

I was impressed by the turnout and the positive response we received for our first ever event for 2009. Some pictures from the event will be made available on this site soon and a full Events Picture Album will be available on Gurumu Facebook.

We would be happy to hear your comments and criticisms, so that we can make our next event even bigger and better. You may forward your comments to siva@gurumu.co.uk.

Once again, I would like to take this opportunity to show Gurumu’s appreciation for the interest you have shown in our club and for your support towards celebrating the success of our growth.

Many thanks,

Sivakumar Renganathan
Chief Instructor, 4th Dan

WELCOME BACK TO GURUMU - 2009

Dear Students / Parents,

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy New Year. I am sure you are all as excited about 2009 as I am. I know this year is going to be a fantastic year for all of us. I know it is going to bring us all a lot of WEALTH, huge amount of SUCCESS and unlimited HAPPINESS. In order to achieve all of this and much more you have to make sure that you take MASSIVE ACTIONS.

MASSIVE ACTIONS = MASSIVE RESULTS

I am really fired up to take Massive Action this year and I would love for every member of Gurumu to do the same. I want all of us to say “2009 WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL AND A MEMORABLE YEAR”, so what are we waiting for? LET JUST DO IT.

CLUB FEES
There are no changes to the club fees for this year. See below for a full listing of the fees.

CLUB MEMBERSHIP
Children - £35.00 per annum (under 13 years)
Juniors & Adults - £45.00 per annum (13 years and above)

BTCB LICENCE
Children - £25.00 per annum
Juniors & Adults - £25.00 per annum

MONTHLY PAY (Members only)
Children - £36.00 per month
Juniors & Adults - £28.00 per month

PAY AS YOU TRAIN (Members only)
Children - £4.50 per session
Juniors & Adults - £5.50 per session

PAY AS YOU TRAIN (Non members)
Children - £5.50 per session
Juniors & Adults - £6.50 per session

Please note the following points in regards to membership, licence and payments:

1. It is your duty to ensure that you have a valid membership when paying monthly payment. If you membership is expired then you will have to pay the non members fees until your membership is renewed.

2. It is your duty to ensure that your BTCB Licence is valid / renewed at all times. Members whose licences are expired will not be able to train until it is renewed. THIS APPLIES TO EVERYONE AND AT ALL TIMES.

3. Members paying monthly payment must submit their monthly fees on the FIRST SESSION of the month that they attend.

4. If class payments are not made at the beginning of the class then you will not be able to take part in the training session.

5. Full payments must be made in advance when ordering new equipments.

The above five points will certainly be enforced this year as the Gurumu management team spend unnecessary time and effort chasing up people for things that takes minute to complete. Always plan in advance and do not leave vital things to the last minute.

Finally, my aspiration for this year is far beyond what you can imagine. I will do anything to achieve my goals and targets for myself and for the club. I am only willing to work with members who are genuinely willing to progress in Taekwondo and in life, or who may need help (focus) to get them in the right direction. All I ask from you is for you to constantly do your best in everything that you are involved in whether it is Taekwondo or other activities in school.

YOU DO YOUR BEST AND I WILL DO THE REST, I PROMISE.

I am really looking forward to this year as I can already visualise many of you are going to achieve great things this year. Gurumu is the best in Great Britain, this year we need to work together to become better.

Best Wishes,

Mr Sivakumar Renganathan, BSc (Hons)
Chief Instructor of Gurumu Taekwondo, 4th Dan
