Congratulations to Scottish National Head Coach Gerry Fleming on being awarded his 7th Dan earlier today at squad training. Great testament to many committed years to karate in Scotland.
It is with great sadness we inform you of the passing of Bobby Morton, he sadly passed away earlier today (Wednesday 8th September) after a battle with cancer. Bobby was a long serving member of the SKGB and over the last few years had led our events team by organising some wonderful events for both the SKGB and the BKF.
Bobby, You will be greatly missed by many.
We send our condolences to his family, friends, students and everyone that knew him.
