2013 “Light up the City” Charity event in aid of Pilgrims Hospices

Saturday, 26th October 2013  – Dane John Gardens, Canterbury

We are very proud to announce that we will be one of the sponsors for this year’s “Light up the City” charity fun run in aid of Pilgrims Hospices.

This is a unique charity run / walk through the streets of Canterbury at night all to raise awareness and much needed funds for Pilgrims Hospices.

We had a group of students and families running last year and we very much look forward to being involved further this year.

More details will follow shortly.

2013 Dover Regatta Boat Race

The day may have started off wet and windy but the sun finally came through on a wonderful day of fun rowing at the Dover Regatta Boat Race.  We had 2 teams made up of students, parents, family and friends with plenty of noisy support on shore.

Each of the boats, MF Enterprise & Men of Steel, rowed their hearts out and had so much fun on the water.  After a busy day with one of our boats reaching the quarter finals it was time for the most important race of the day – a race-off between our two teams.

After nearly crashing into each other we finally got a clean start.  Clearly shaken but the danger, Men of Steel seemed to make a break for France whilst MF Enterprise stuck to their task and come away with deserving bragging rights.  Sadly a forfeit must ensue even for me!

Thank you to everyone who came, supported and made a splash.  We helped to raise £2000 for charity which as a fantastic effort!

Until next year…

Master Finch

Saturday, 13th July saw a blisteringly hot day in Herne Bay for the annual Man on the Run charity event, raising awareness and money for cancer.

Both students and fathers turned up for the MF Kent Team and everyone did wonderfully well to help raise an amazing £10k for charity – amazing!!!

Thank you so much to everyone that took part and came along to support.  It is amazing to see so many people getting involved and to know that we, as a community Martial Arts School, can have such a positive impact within our local area.

The students that took part were:

• Jake Porter-Ward & Scott Porter-Ward (father)
• Charlie Hinder & Darren Hinder (father) & Steve Hinder (uncle)
• Saom Anisi & Amir Anisi (father)
• Tiree Daly & Cormac Daly (father)
• Tony Rockall (Lauren Coulthard’s father)
• Jack Robbens & Mr Robbens

We are very pleased to continue our community work this term by being part of the Enrichment Programme at Norton Knatchbull Grammar School.

More and more schools and clubs are asking us to deliver Martial Arts and have recognised how beneficial our programmes can be to their children.
