Tom Dunn - It is with very heavy hearts that we heard the news that, in December 2006, Tom Dunn was tragically killed in a car crash with 2 of his friends.  Tom was a fine student of the club, who won the student award more than once and he will be very sadly missed by all who knew him.

Tom epitomised and embodied the Martial Arts spirit, as a quiet and respectful young man he impressed us his instructors and his fellow students alike, not just with his skills at Karate but with his exemplary attitude. I will in particular never forget Tom's attitude when sparring, with younger students he was careful, encouraging and helpful, but when fighting senior grades he was courageous and brave.

Our thoughts are with his family, Tom was a real credit to you,

Scott Atkinson - Mon Black Belt in Judo and well on his way to being a Karate Black belt also !
