Special Judges Grants
For many years now WTPA has awarded special grants to competitors in national and international championships. Last year a special grant to judges was proposed and at the February meeting the committee resolved that a total of $1000 is available for participants in the IWUF International Judging and Coaching course which was conducted in 2008. Applicants must be individual members of WTPA or must belong to a school that is an Organisation Member, and will be required to submit proof of participation / successful completion with their applications. Closing date for applications is 30th March 2009. Anyone wishing to apply should email secretary@wtpa.org.au. for an application form.
Watch for announcements regarding future special grants.
WTPA New President
At the meeting held on February 1 the WTPA Committee
unanimously elected Master Tong Low as President. Tong is
well known in Tai Chi & Wushu circles principally as a senior
competition judge and as instructor with Tai Chi For Life.
The committee has been extremely pleased with his
contributions to the annual WTPA Festival and with his
valuable experience when he joined the committee last year.
I am sure the Association will continue to develop and thrive
under Tong’s leadership. Remaining officer positions are
unchanged: Vice-President John Hanna, Treasurer Sam Au &
Secretary Jean Rogers.

Victorian Bushfires
I have received a number of inquiries regarding WTPA members affected by the bush fires. The limited news we have is so far good regarding members themselves eg Gary Jackson, family and home all OK, Sid Lewis of Bunyip and Julie Lucas of Churchill are also OK. Kay Menzies and Nora Spitzer of Buxton are both OK but have unfortunately lost their home.
If anyone is able to update us on any other members it would be appreciated.
