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?

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse.

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
