Development of our Association

We need further help with our organisation in order for Nam Yang to operate smoother and keep our members better informed. We are looking for volunteers to establish communications and fund-raising sub committees.

If you or your friends and family are able to help out then please speak to Iain. Thank you for your support.

Remember, if you want to succeed in your Kung Fu training there are only 2 things you need to do. The first is to start and the second thing is to not give up!

Perseverance breeds success!
