Just to let anyone whose kids attended his Taekwondo classes in Dulwich Leisure Centre or Waverley know, that he's been selected to represent England in the Commonwealth Taekwondo Championships in India in January.


We are all really proud of him.





Edited for typo and to change Commonwealth games to Commonwealth Taekwondo Championships - sorry for any confusion

Daniel will need to drum up some sponsorship, so if any local businesses would like an advert sewn onto his TKD suit let me know. It will be televised, not sure what channels though.

Just been told by Daniel that he needs to raise a total of ?1600 and any sponsors will be mentioned on the GLL and South Bank Uni website where he's studying and for whose team he competes as well as the advert on his suit.



Here is some more info on the costs: http://www.britishtaekwondo.org.uk/index.php?pagename=british-taekwondo-control-board-news&news_id=357

I think that was just the athletics. They do lots of other sports too.


Or maybe 'The Games' is different from the Commonwealth Taekwondo Championships. Sorry, I'm just a mum, not really up on all the other info. I know it's a step towards the Olympics and is a very serious competition.

Congratulations on him being chosen to represent his country but the Commonwealth games have all the sports going on at the same time and were on in September/October.


Taekwondo is one of the 'optional' sports that countries can choose to have alongside the core ones like athletics or swimming but I'd thought it had only just become one of those 'optional' ones so wasn't eligible for this year's Games.


After a quick google, there is a Commonwealth Taekwondo Championship happening in India in January so I'm guessing this is what he's competing in - it's not part of the Commonwealth Games proper but it's still an international level competition so best of luck to him.

The Southwark News are interested in doing a piece about Daniel in their paper and he is still looking for about ?1000 of sponsorship.


Are any local businesses interested in sponsoring him and maybe getting a mention in the Southwark News?

    • I would love something like this..I remember the one where Gails is now..It had some bric a brac furniture and 2nd hand clothes, I don't remeber the Oyster bar. The issue with the one on Zenoria St-And I speak as a long time habitué of Portobello, Kensington Market, Alfies,Spitalfields,Covent Garden (back when it had a decent vintage market on Mondays in the 80's and Early 90's) ..Was that a lot of the stuff they sold looked a bit meh..like a bad car boot fair. I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff. I think the secret is in having a good mix of stalls selling well curated pieces at decent prices...It would also be good to have a few tables and rails available to rent for one-off sellers (car boot style) by application. When I lived in Notting Hill I used to do Portobello under the flyover a couple of times a year and made really decent money because people tended to go there on sundays for the Casual stallholders rather the same dealers selling the same stuff.
