Departement d'Isere Kata competition, January 2000

It was the first time anyone from our club had ever taken part in a kata competion. Five young ladies, Maeve, Melanie, Claire, Nadhya and Alex, took part.

Alex, Nadhya and Claire all qualified for the Ligue championships, and Melanie and Maeve did very well for their first competition. I was proud of you all!
