Nationals TrainingsNOTE: Saturday the 4th, 11th and 18th of July
Counties regional training will be held at Cockle Bay school same times.
Cockle Bay School, 24 Sandspit Road Cockle Bay, Howick  The Counties regional team to go to the Nationals has now been training
since the 22 April. We need more members to represent our
fabulous region! The whole idea of starting the training
early this year was to try to get away from having to train 2/3 or
5 times per week leading up to the tournament.
To compete we need a large team and we need BLACK BELT teams - please
put your name forward.

New RD for Counties Manukau
Mrs Iotua will be a familiar face to everyone in ITFNZ - having been a major force behind the region for the past 7 years. She is approachable and always willing to lend assistance where ever possible. Mrs Iotua says she prefers to tackle things head on with a ‘never done it but will give it a try attitude’. She has had had hands on experience in every aspect of administration within ITFNZ, through her mentor Mrs Breen, I has been fortunate to have picked up tricks of the trade from other members of our organisation through observing and taking a hands on approach. Mrs Iotua is passionate about the art but also about the people within the organisation and prefers to have a transparent process at all times. She is a positive person and believes that communication links should always be honest but diplomatically. Good luck Mrs Iotua! New BabyHi all,
