Since it was founded in 1980 by Shihan Ritchie Noblett the association has gone from strength to strength and is now\u00a0recognized\u00a0throughout the karate fraternity as one of the\u00a0country’s finest karate organisations, and our formidable kumite squad is known throughout the UK and Europe for the quality of its fighters.<\/p>\n
Last night saw the WBK members, friends and families gather for an\u00a0Anniversary\u00a0Dinner at Blancos Hotel in Port Talbot. Nigel Taylor got proceedings under way with an introductory speech, \u00a0briefly outlining the history of the Association, the success and continued growth of all of our clubs and the fantastic achievements of our Kumite squad. As a tribute , those assembled \u00a0rose to give a minute of\u00a0\u00a0applause in memory of \u00a0our founder and Chief Instructor, Shihan Ritchie Noblett. – who was\u00a0undoubtedly one of the finest Karate – Ka seen in this country. Then, after a superb meal, it was time to party !<\/p>\n
We would like to thank the staff and management of \u00a0Blancos for providing us with a first class service throughout the evening.
\nAlso,our thanks and appreciation go to Liz, for arranging the celebration and for her never ending efforts as Association administrator.<\/p>\n
