Hello Mr. Roy,

Thank you so very much for allowing me to be part of your wonderful weekend. I like the fact that you allowed me to be put to work; I'm just sorry that I ran out of steam on the Monday & we kept missing each others calls. Thank you for letting me meet so many wonderful people. It was an honour to be able to work with all of your Jersey contingent to make last weekend such a success. Everyone at the Mayfair were great to socialize with along with Mr & Mrs Poland's group. I must say that they were most generous in making me feel at home.
Mr Pick & his wife were the first to chat with me at the hotel & to introduce themselves and the other Kenpo instructors to me, on the Tuesday night. It was an honour to be able to be in the instructors group with such great people.
Please give my thanks to all of your people. All of the best to you, Linda and the Danger Dogs. Perhaps, most humbly, I can be of some assistance again in the future. Thank you again, Roy.

Respectfully, your friend,

Bill

I want to congratulate you for the great event (championships and seminars) you have organised this year.

See you in Las Vegas 2009.

Best regards from Spain.

Roy, Richard and team,

Maybe a bit late, but I found this feature just now.

Thank you and your team very much for one of the best organized (and biggest) events I ever attended.

The training sessions were awesome, as well as the lectures!! I met loads of old friens and made quite some new ones, and a great time all together.

I can't wait till tghe next occassion, although it will be hard to live up to the expectations that were raised this year.

I want to take this opportunity to write and thank you for the most wonderful time at the recent 2008 world championships.
Everybody in our party agreed it was the best IKC we had ever attended.

Thank you once again

Hi - just a quick note to thank you and your team for organising last week-ends championship - my son trains with Simon and Duncan, and this was his debut competition, (and mine!), and I was tremendously impressed with the level of organisation, and how you kept pretty much to time on Saturday - not sure you could have improved things. The opening ceremony was great, (if early in the day), and the ongoing presentation of medals was a good idea. My son Myles was lucky enough to get a bronze medal in the 7-8 individual sparring, and as only a white belt, he was over the moon and is sleeping with his medal!

Thanks again for all of the effort - I hope that you felt that it went well.

Best wishes.

Hiya Roy,
Unfortunately Mervyn and myself could not find you last night to say goodbye. Just wanted you to know that we had a great time, meeting up with people we had not seen for 15/20 years was a delight. Congratulations on pulling off a wonderful event, the students that I brought over enjoyed it immensly. You must have worked your socks off and all credit to you and your team. You would have made Mr Parker very proud, but then he knows as he was there in spirit.

Salute

Jaki & Merv

Hi Roy,

Just wanted to thank you for such a fantastic weekend, I have competed since
I was 9, I am 23 now and I have never been involved in such a well run and
organized championships.

The standard of the judging and refereeing was outstanding

Thanks again and looking forward to being over again at some stage

Regards and respect

Dear Roy, Brian, Karl, Sandra and everybody at the JKKA,


On behalf of the Ermitage team, I wanted to congratulate you all for
organising such a first-class World Championships!

As Roy commented in last night's JEP, we have never seen Fort Regent so busy
and the Queens Hall so full of people.

Ermitage was proud to to be associated with this historic event and the
JKKA team.

Our staff and friends who visited throughout the day (and the early birds
who saw Saturday morning opening ceremony!) really enjoyed it. For many it
was the first time they had seen competitive Kenpo Karate, and
the dedication and skill involved. I particularly enjoyed the Hungarian
demonstration on Sunday evening - which was brilliant.

From our point of view, the commitment, energy and assistance shown by
you and the JKKA team was commendable - thank you all for making it such a
pleasure for Ermitage to be involved.

Make sure you all take a well earned rest before your next event!!

Kind regards

Steve

Dear Roy,

Thanks and best regards,

Dear Roy, fantastic, marvellous, great,
all my students are very happy and already so sad to be here!
For you, it's certainly now the best moment to stay a little quiet with your family! ( so sorry with this email)
Monday, before to take the ferry, I met Emma with his class and his teacher ! We discussed with Emma a little and she took a picture with my little children, Marion!(I'll send you soon)
Emma is interested to learn french and if their parents are agreed, it'll be good if girls meet sometimes for holidays! Emma in Belgium and after Marion on Jersey! Why not!
So, it's another discussion but only another thing: La Ferrara Carmelo, 3rd in form, yellow belt and 8 years old is not on the list of the result!
If you have time, can you please put his name!
It'll be a good souvenir for him!
I put all this information on my web site and I wish also to say you thank you for your kindness and yours disponibilities!
All the masters were super and my students made 15 hours of training!
Impossible to be with all!
At soon and I hope in holiday there
Gino from Belgium

Mr. MacDonald,
Mr. & Mrs. Pick, Mr. Buonfiglio and myself wanted you to know how grateful
we were to receive your dignified graciousness and generous hospitality.
From the moment we left our country we all felt well taken care by you in
yours. Also, all of your team sincerely contributed to our experience.
Keilly was very helpful, Dawn was quite accomidating and Richard Matthews
could not have gone more out of his way with his driving us around from
meals to tourists sites and simply making sure we were well taken care of by
everyone in the name of Jersey Kenpo. Everyone on your team always made it
a point to tell us that Mr. MacDonald wanted us to be cared for, and cared
for we were. You entire design has reminded us how much we need to pick up
the slack, as your entire gathering seemed nothing short of an International
American Kenpo Olympiad.
Respectfully,
WI, AP

Dear Mr. MacDonald

Thank you from all the members, families and friends of the Flaming Fist Kenpo UK squad who attended your 2008 championships. It was with out a doubt one of the most enjoyable IKC's we have ever attended, and a wonderful introdution to those of our party who were attending for the first time.

Yours in martial arts

Andy and Matt

Hi Roy

I wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much Jenni and I and
our group enjoyed the event, it was run impeccably and all seemed to go
so well, I know there must have been some problems some where. You also
had a great team helping, those I know are Richard, David Williams and
his wife. They are all great people and a credit to the event.

That is the way events like this should be run well done to all.

On a personal note, I would like to thank you and Richard for the
invitation to teach and share my Kenpo.

Highest regards

Kevin

Dear Mr McDonald,

Hello Roy, I am not sure if you recieved my e-mail on my return to
the US, so I am sending a return to this e-mail address and hopefully
you will get it.

I just wanted to drop you a line and thank you so much for allowing
me to be part of the Historic event last week, for setting up the
Karattack class, the TV interviews and for the hospitality you showed
me, what a way to return to Jersey! It will never be forgotten. It
was great to see my first Kenpo teacher again after all these years,
you are a true gentleman and inspiration to all in the Kenpo world,
your super human efforts an example to us all of what can be
achieved. I look forward to visiting Jersey again in the near
future, it is still the heart of European Kenpo and touched all who
visited from the US. Mr Parker was definitely looking down smiling
(nice touch by the way).

Salute.

Respectfully yours,
Brye Cooper

Dear Mr. McDonald,



We all enjoyed all the events, seminars, Championships, brotherhood dinner, … for some of our students it was the first time in an international event and they were fascinated. Unfortunately we hardly had time to visit your wonderful island, that’s why we all committed to go back in a near future. Many thanks for your hosting in our visit!!

excellent weekend, well done to everybody who competed and to everybody involved in the organisation of the weekend. had a great weekend, see you all next year in Vegas!
