Following the WKGB’s first Officials & Coaches course and examination of the year, we are very pleased to congratulate and welcome new officials (officially!) to the WKGB Refereeing team. They are (left to right) - Scarlett Roper, Kate Lloyd, Rhiannon Stockham (all JKS Wales), and Jeff Harris (WKKU).

Congratulations also to two existing officials that gained provisional promotions, which will be confirmed following practical assessments during the next championships: Lee Bradley (WKAlliance) - Kumite Judge A, and Mark Whitby (WKAssociation) - Kata Judge A and Kumite Referee B.

Further congratulations goes to all officials and coaches that either renewed their existing licences, or gained a tatami coach qualification for the first time. All attendees on the course engaged in a full day of rules updates and explanations with WKGB Chief Referee - Dan Phillips - before subjecting themselves to WKF-format theory examination in kata and kumite.

Interested in joining them? The next WKGB Officials & Coaches course will take place on 17th May. For further information, and to register visit: https://forms.gle/YJQQ5Q5CvT8ankUH9 The course is open to all WKGB members.
