Christmas Family Training Day
Our local association hosted the annual Christmas Family Training Day at Cotton Tree Park 16 th December
2007. The day was well attended by members and families with around 100 people in attendance all
together. Training was a bit more fun than usual with taisabaki (evasion) practice getting out of the way of
water bombs, and water training in the Maroochy River just a few of the memorable activities.
The association put on a BBQ lunch for members and guests and kids enjoyed activities co-ordinated by
Rhys Woodhouse, including tug-o-war, piniata, and chasing down the poor soul that had the privilege of
wearing a t-shirt covered in lollies... This year we even had a visit from Santa who made a bit of time in his
busy schedule to share in the festivities.
While the kids were having fun, the parents and adult members
