Karate updates....

THANKS to Samuel's amazing effort in selling $600 worth lego stuff and AMAZING buyers from trade me (some of them over the moon to get lego) and generous buyers (ChrisH and family), we were halfway there.....

Lake Taupo Sports Advisory Council agreed to $200 cheque (then we get a phoencall it is UPPED to $500!!!!!!!!)

This afternoon Lakeland Lions has put in $300 so all in all we have THE MONEY for Samuel to go HE IS SOOOOO DARNED excited and I am so proud of his efforts towards going.

It will go fast the 7 weeks and I am meeting with the HEAD Sensei this saturday to fill in forms we will be at doctors to get medical clearance and letters for INHALERS and medication he will be taking with him too, have had bags checked for appropriate size (cabin one) went to Airport and put it in the measuring device!, have had towels embroided and bag WITH sponsors LOGO (organised today) have got the permits and prices for the BBQ (sausage and onions and bread and all that stuff) have BBQ booked for Queens Bday Fri/Sat/Sun that will be club BBQ to go towards Samuel the other boy and the Instructor from Taupo so thats all good.

Next week around WED rest of the money will be paid to CLUB for Samuels fees and competition and travel (when in Aussie cause they still have 300kms to travel once landed), then just have to purchase mouthguard and gloves and punch mitts. (my Employer is getting that so thats good too!)

YAY we nearly ready to go infact we probably could go NEXT WEEK at this rate!

Well now that I havent walked for nearly 2 weeks I am raring to go and get back into it! (yes int he rain too!)
