Shuhari-Kai Christmas Championships   Sunday 23rd December 2007 saw the Shuhari-Kai Club Invitational Christmas Championships & Social Evening take place at the RUSSC Club, Romford. The competition was well attended and started in earnest at 1:00pm commencing with the Kata events. The Junior 8 years and below competitors were up first and produced some fine Kata displays which were scored on points by the three judges. As the age and ability of competitor increased, so did the 'accessories' attached to each competitor - musical  and flashing Reindeer antlers, ankle weights etc. Very comical.   Soon after the Kata had completed, the serious business of Kumite began and once again the kids (and seniors) gave it their all. The full results of the competition can be found below.   Once everybody had a chance to collect their medals and participation certificates from Sensei Richard Burridge and the club raffle had been drawn (which raised £102 for the club), the festivities got underway with the disco quickly getting the kids up on the dance floor. Everyone who stayed enjoyed the rest of the evening winding down to Christmas.     KATA Junior Mixed Under 9yrs, 7th Kyu & Under Gold - Samin Khan Silver - Stephen Kinsey Bronze - Edward Sell Bronze - Carla Bolton (Ken-No-Sen)   Junior Mixed U16yrs, 6th Kyu & Below Gold - Nathan Booty (Gojo) Silver - Rhys Floyde Bronze - Kurtis Walters Bronze - Daniel Frost (Gojo)   Junior Mixed U16yrs, 5th-4th Kyu Gold - Aryan Ayerman Silver - Billie Lowry Bronze - Callum Alboni Bronze - Ali Ayerman   Junior Mixed U16yrs, 3-1st Kyu Gold - Oliver Powell Silver - Andrew Ayerman Bronze - Brandon Booty (Gojo)   Junior Dan Grade & Senior Open Grade Gold - Aimee Sell Silver - Phil McGinn Bronze - Dave Edwards Bronze - Elle Ayerman KUMITE Junior Mixed U8yrs, 7th Kyu & Under Gold - Edward Sell Silver - Daniel Kinsey Bronze - Regan Wilson Bronze - Samin Khan   Junior Mixed U11yrs, 5th Kyu & Under Gold - Callum Alboni Silver - Aryan Ayerman Bronze - Sheree Ayres Bronze - Daniel Frost (Gojo)   Junior Boys U14yrs, Open Grade Gold - Ali Ayerman Silver - Brandon Booty (Gojo) Bronze - Rhys Floyde Bronze - Oliver Powell   Junior Girls U14yrs, Open Grade Gold - Shanfa Ledeatte-Williams Silver - Kadija Ledeatte-Williams   Senior Male Open Grade Gold - JJ Burridge Silver - Christian Vaquero Bronze - Phil McGinn Bronze - Andrew Ayerman   Senior Female Open Grade Gold - Dawn Lowry Silver - Elle Ayerman   Veterans Gold - Richard Burridge Silver - Amir Ayerman Bronze - Dave Edwards
