The whole event was arranged superbly. The venue was excellent and looked very classy with the dress suits and bow ties. Not forgetting the ladies; they were all very well turned out.

With the ring in the middle and the diners all sitting at their tables, the atmosphere was terrific. It was very well organised from start to finish.

The Irish Team put in a very good performance. Their Patterns were world class. And to prove it Ireland came first in the patterns and third overall. With a bit more exposure to tournament free sparring they will be very good. Mr Doyle is building up a very good squad and the future looks very bright. It won’t be too long before Ireland brings home some hardware from the international stage!

In the golf tournament “Ireland” went well just missing out on the first prizes for team and individual competitions.

AETF UMPIRE COURSE AND EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETINGS CROATIA 7-9 SEPTEMBER 07


The venue was in Porec (pronounced “porridge”!) which is a wonderful town situated on a peninsula with a very interesting history stretching back to Roman times and beyond. Accommodation and meals were first class and the local people were very friendly. In the “Old Towns” a lot of the Roman buildings and streets can be seen and are still in use today, some 2000 years later. In fact some of the streets are still called by their Latin Roman names. The weather was sunny with temperatures in the mid twenties and a very relaxing and low humidity level.

Masters Prewitt, Millar, and Mr Sunetov conducted an excellent Umpire’s Course over the weekend which was attended by about sixty to seventy umpires who are going to the AETF Championships in October in Tallinn, Estonia. The RITA was represented by Master Kavanagh who also attended the AETF Board Meeting and peripheral discussions.

The AETF under the presidency of Master Nobilo is driving to have much more inter-action between the European Countries through organising more championships, seminars, etc, starting with “The ITF European Cup”.

The AETF is set to become much more transparent and accountable for its actions with each member of the Executive Board having much more responsibilities than heretofore. Above all it will be run as a democratic organisation more in keeping with the standards of today’s world.

Provision has been made in a new draft Constitution to be put to the European Congress in Estonia to change the name of the AETF because of some legal dangers discovered by Master Nobilo. However, the AETF Executive Board is determined to fight to keep the name of the “All Europe Taekwon-Do Federation” which was founded in 1979 under the direction of our Legendary Founder General Choi Hong Hi by Senior ITF Vice-President and First Grand Master, Rhee Ki Ha, 9th Degree.

To join the battle to preserve the name “All Europe Taekwon-Do Federation, each European Country NGB is requested to immediately register the name “All Europe Taekwon-Do Federation” in its respective country and if possible, take out world wide registration as well.
