July 13th as usual saw a big gathering of Masters and 3rd Duans at H.Q. This is a very important meeting as it brings together instructors from all parts of the country to standardise the way we train and teach.

Unfortunately, due to an illness I could not take part that day so I elected myself as photographer. Therefore, if you like what you see, I took them, if not, Miss Tina Matania took them (Ha ha ha!) Sorry Tina!

After the warm up Grandmaster Loke took the lesson correcting and advising where necessary.

Two and a half hours later everyone got in their cars and headed to Grandmaster's residence for dinner at the kind invitation of Grandmaster and Mrs Loke. As usual the food and the company was great, I have on good authority some had third helpings! Of course out of politeness and maybe confidentiality law, names cannot be mentioned.

On behalf of all who took part, a very big thank you to Mrs Loke for all the lovely food and hospitality.

TANG SOU!
