Hi guys, there's a few whispers going round at the minute so I am going to clear everything up here.
Basically my wife has been offered an awesome work opportunity after being out of work for the last year due to covid which has been really tough on us as a family both physically and financially so she has accepted the offer.
The job is in Tauranga which is going to mean a big move for my family.
I have explored every avenue to make things work at both ends but which ever way I work it, it still works out the best for me and my family that I fully make the move as well which means I will not be able to keep on running classes at the hurricanes gym.
So with this in mind it is with a very heavy heart that I am officially announcing that this will be the last term I operate Hurricanes Martial Arts, Bell Block.
This has been a very difficult decision for both me an my family to make.
Hurricanes Martial Arts have been a big part of my life and I have met some amazing people and I hope I have empowered you guys and given you the confidence and determination to keep on with your martial arts journey in some form.
A fellow martial artist is lined up to take over the building and he does have ambitions to keep utilising the building for martial arts however needs a little time to work things out.
I will be running a grading on Saturday 17th April which will be the final day for me as hurricanes director and president. This will act as closure to an amazing term and give the students that achievement for their hard work at the end of a long term.
Anybody who has purchased concession cards over the last 2 weeks will be entitled to a refund on remaining classes on your card so for example if you have 8 clicks remaining on your card today and you usually attend 1 class per week you have 3 weeks to use it so you will be refunded for 5 classes whether you use it or not.
If you bought a card at the start of term and not used it yet there is potentially 11 classes left for females and 6 for males so you have time to use it so this will be factored in.
Anybody who has paid for the term you will have 3 weeks to make up any missed classes.
If anyone needs any clarification please don't hesitate to contact me myself and I will be more than happy to help.
Again this has been a very hard decision to make and not one I have taken lightly.
I would finally like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for giving me the opportunity to work with you guys.
Gavin
