Special Awards

Masters Certificates

ITFNZ does not normally provide ITFNZ grading certificates for senior gradings - they are covered by the ITF certificate. At the awards dinner Masters Davidson and McPhail were presented with framed ITFNZ certificates for their master's gradings.  There was the slight problem of keeping it a surprise when ITFNZ certificates are normally signed by our President (Master Davidson), and the process overseen by the Director of Gradings (Master McPhail)!

As part of his meticulous planning of the Masters' seminar and grading last year, Mr Bhana arranged for Master Trân Triêu Quân, (President of ITF), and Masters Hector Marano, Pablo Trajtenberg and Wim Bos to sign the certificates, with this awards dinner several months away in mind.

Life Memberships

Mrs Shirley Pygott and Mr Vince Pygott, Mrs Sue Breen and Mr Neil Breen, and Mr Andrew Salton were made life members of ITFNZ.

ITF course certificates were presented.

ITFNZ President Mr Evan Davidson made a speech and wished the NZ Team all the best for the World Champs in Germany.

Seven years til the next one !
