Winter
- Winter is here and it brings some problems with it every year:
- We are very aware that winter brings the Flu as most of us have been sat on our ass for almost a week, thanks to Calvin.
- It is important that if ppl are sick that they go home and come back when they are better.
- This latest example is a great reason why this MUST be a rule and not just a recommendation.
- Encourage ppl to have a dry jumper to put on when they leave training.
- Winter also brings a drop in class number, so it it important we are on our toes to reduce this yealy cycle as much as possible, here are some ways to help:
- When class numbers are down, the instructors have to bring the atmothphere to make the class the best we can for those that are there.
- Teach good classes that cater for those that have turned up to train.
- Connenct with all the members in the room, make them feel important.
- Encourage those on trials and make them feel extra welcome.

Zippers
- Zippers are getting harder to see and they are hidden more and more.
- Over the last few months I have noticed an increasing number of members training in shorts that have zippers, a lot with the pocket just above their bum.
- Zippers are dangerous of others when grappling.
- Zippers damage the mats.
- Please keep a close eye on what people are wearing, ask people to wear shorts with zippers, expecially for grappling classes.
Problem with Unit 1
- Problems with unit 1 are ongoing, they continue to accuse people of verbal abuse, and threats, please do not interact with them unless you must, and if you do please:
- Be polite, regardless of how they speak to you
- Recording the conversation is a must
- A witness is also a good idea
Holidays
- When considering time off please refer to the below list to see if anyone else has already booked time away.
- I need notice to find replacements for your shifts, the more notice the better.
