Sports include basket ball, table tennis, volley ball, badminton, squash etc. This year's event will be held on Saturday 8th February at Burton Street (in Hillsborough). Join us!

KANGEIKO - our annual "24/7 winter challenge" will start on Saturday 16th February and end on Saturday 22nd February. We challenge all our members to train for a minimum of 24hours over 7 days, hence the name; the challenge also includes training all morning sessions (7.30-8.45am), a great way to wake up... And this year, we have Kangeiko mugs for all those completing the challenge! We will celebrate the end of kangeiko with an "international banquet" together on Saturday night...

Finally, have a great peaceful Christmas and a happy new year!
