Canterbury, 17th Oct – UPDATE

Posted on: October 17th, 2018 by David Finch

All classes will now be held upstairs in the Sports Hall (6th form area) and NOT the main sports hall.

Space will be a bit tight so unfortunately parents will be asked to wait outside.  Please bring your children upstairs for the start of the class and we will collect them at the entrance to the room.  At the end of the class we will walk the children downstairs to meet you.

Many thanks for your understanding.

Success at the South East Championships

Posted on: May 2nd, 2018 by David Finch

On Sunday, 29th April the Matt Fiddes group held the second South-East Championships and it was wonderful to see so many students and families attending.  With more competitors this year, we knew it was going to be a fun but challenging day and our little team performed so well!

For some it was their first tournament and for others, who are more experienced, it was an opportunity to be role models and help the team through the day.  It is no exaggeration to say that we had some outstanding performances and I am so very proud of each member of the MF Kent Team.

It takes a great deal of commitment, hard work, determination and passion to perform at a Championships and I look forward to celebrating their successes in class this week:

Gold x 5, Silver x 3 & Bronze x 2

MF Kent Team:

  • Millie
  • Evie-Sue
  • Charley
  • Tsvetan
  • Simon
  • Mason
  • Jack
  • Hugo
  • Henry
  • William
  • Katie

Thank you to our wonderful team of coaches, Instructors, families and friends who all made the day go smoothly and offered so much support and enthusiasm.  It was a fantastic atmosphere and such a positive experience for everyone.

Well done MF Kent family!
