Epsom Club: Sponsored Kick
for Cancer Research
in memory of Matt Mayatt
20th November 2004On Saturday 20th November 2004, Master Goward's Epsom Club took part in the Sponsored Kick in aid of Cancer Research.
Master Goward (5th Duan) with Epsom Club StudentsThe sponsored kick was organised by Nicola Mayatt in memory of her husband Matt who was the instructor who founded the Davis Estate club in Kent. Matt sadly passed away with cancer on 28th July 2002.
A group of Epsom students took part in the kick after class and over £700 has been pledged so far for Cancer Research UK and this figure is still rising!
Students had to perform as many kicks as possible within one minute and timing was strict, to the last 10th of a second on the stopwatch. The foot had to touch the floor in between each kick and the bat had to be kicked properly for each one to qualify.
Epsom's 'star performer' was 1st Ji, red belt, Trevor Bardouille, who performed 99 front thrust kicks in one minute.
Epsom's 'star fundraiser' so far is Jonathan King who has been pledged in excess of £400 - well done to Jonathan for asking everyone at his workplace for donations.
Thank you to everyone who took part and made donations. If you would like to contribute to this worthwhile fund-raiser please address cheques to 'Cancer Research UK' and send them to HQ or hand them to your local instructor.
