KARATENOMICHI WORLD FEDERATION Karatenomichi Norway/Kristiansund Shotokan Karate Klubb

INVITATION: To all member federations and friends of the Karatenomichi World Federation: KWF Norway/Kristiansund Shotokan Karateklubb, in collaboration with Karatenomichi World Federation So Hombu (Headquarters) has great pleasure in inviting you to the 5th KWF World Masters Technical Camp and World Cup to be held in beautiful Kristiansund from the 26th -29th March 2009. Kristiansund is one of the most densely populated towns in Norway, having what is arguably the country's most urban ‘small city’ center. With its three islands connected by bridges and a beautiful and lively harbour in its town centre Kristiansund is both intimate and exciting. Kristiansund is a town on the west coast of Norway. Whilst not a big town by size or population; the friendly attitude and way of life of its people makes it a town with a big heart. Kristiansund is a town that will live long in the heart of every visitor. Kristiansund has excellent hotels, many attractive shops, historical attractions, and is an ideal starting point for trips to other places of interest in the region. We invite you to study this invitation thoroughly. Please ensure the timely and precise forwarding of all necessary forms. The deadline is 30th January 2009. Those needing visas will need to have made their application and payment by 15th November 2008 to ensure sufficient time for the processing of necessary documentation. We look forward to seeing you in Kristiansund, Norway and wish you all the best when taking part in the 5th KARATENOMICHI WORLD CAMP and WORLD CUP. With sincere best wishes, Mikio Yahara, Chief Instructor Karatenomichi World Federation Malcolm Dorfman, Tournament Supervisor Robert Sidoli, Tournament Supervisor David Barker, Tournament Director
