Beach party
We are organising a beach party at Southend on Sea for all Tae Kwon Do participants and their families on Sunday, September 6th. We will travel by train from Stratford leaving about 10am, returning to Stratford by 6.30pm. Train fare will be approx £8 per person as we are hoping to get a group discount. There will be additional discounts for families with more than 2 children. We would like to organise everyone bringing some food to share for a picnic. It should be great fun and we hope as many people as possible can come.
