Year of the dragon<br />
Message from the Organiser<br />
Master Michael Tan - Tan’s <strong>Taekwondo</strong><br />
It is with great pleasure that I produce this publication as a<br />
celebration of another successful Gold Coast Open. This being the<br />
Year of the dragon, was one of our best competitions. Numbers<br />
exceeded expectations, with a total of 460 competitors attending<br />
the 3 rd GC Open. Players came from all States of Australia. We also<br />
had 2 international teams from NZ and PNG.<br />
There were many international, national and state champions<br />
attending this year. Theresa Tona who will be representing PNG in<br />
London used the event as Olympic preparation. Chynea Lang and<br />
Aaron Wain picked up the memorial awards for best sparring<br />
competitors while Justin Patterson won the memorial trophy for<br />
the most outstanding Poomse competitor.<br />
I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank Jo and<br />
Steve Newmann who marshaled all competitors in such an efficient<br />
way to enable us to finish on time. And who can forget Paul<br />
Pomerenke for being the MC and providing such an entertaining<br />
call on proceedings.<br />
I hope you enjoy this publication and I look forward to seeing you<br />
again next May for the 4 th Gold Coast Open.<br />
Yours in <strong>Taekwondo</strong><br />
Master Michael Tan<br />
3 rd Gold Coast Open<br />
