August 2007 Grading Results

The August round had 884 people grade throughout New Zealand, the most ever in our history. This is great encouragement to all the Instructors and Committees who have been working hard to achieve membership growth.

The Best Club (highest points) was a 3 way tie between Riccarton, Meadowbank and Dragons Spirit. Riccarton was awarded 1st place as it had the highest average of A passes. This is the first time that a club has achieved BEST CLUB in both points and A pass percentage! Well done Riccarton..we look forward to all those black belts starting new clubs down there. :-)
