IMPORTANT: NEXT EVALUATION DATE - at the Thurles Dojo, will be sometime in October - please bring €6 to cover the cost of each belt. Rules state that you must have a white belt first - so if going for yellow - you need to apply for both the white and the yellow at a cost of 12euro. This cost is purely a contribution to cover the cost of the belt.
