Cardiff Dragons Korfball Club

Getting ready for the new season properly with our first social of the year, we’re going for a curry after training on Friday.

As well as general fun and revelry, we’ll also be deciding on the names for the teams we’re entering into the WKL this season. So if you want to make sure we have as cool a name as the Grass Snakes, make sure you’re there!

There’s still some discussion over the best restaurant, give Sian a shout if you’ve any suggestions (we utterly deny all suggestions that this is to force people to come to training in order to find out where the party is!)

Training as normal at Talybont from 6.30-8.30, then quick shower and off to eat.

Unfortunately when we actually arrived at Bishop of Llandaff school to train there, although it looked fine we discovered that the hall was too slippy to play safely on. So we’re changing venues and training nights, and from Friday 26 September we’ll be training at Talybont Sports Hall, part of Cardiff University’s sports facilities.

As most of you will know, Talybont is an excellent venue and will mean we won’t have to deal with the hassle of dragging posts around either! And training on a Friday will allow us all to socialise properly afterwards. Training will be from 6.30-8.30, so it won’t get in the way of a night out in town either.

On the 13th September, the WKA put on a free beginners session, giving about 30 new players a taste of the sport. The session was very succesful, as attested to by the Echo, who had sent along someone to give it a try. You can read the Echo piece here (second item down)

Welcome back to the new season!  Cardiff Dragons KC has a new committee, new league, new venue and a new training time.

When? Every Thursday night 7.30pm to 9.30pm, beginning this week: Thursday 11 September. Where? Bishop of Llandaff School, Rookwood Close, Cardiff 

There will be plenty of new things for this season… the committee is currently putting a newsletter together to keep you updated on training arrangements, league structure and payment.

Chrissy and Sian are organising a start of season social for Friday 3 October so please keep that evening free for lots of fun and games!
