Press Release #01 - 23 October 2003

Saturation Point

During the last year, more precisely since August 2002, CARISMA (CAmbridge RIverSide Martial Arts) has enjoyed an overwhelming success reaching the so called saturation point. Over the last 14 months the club has open its doors to beginners just in a handful of occasions due to the great success of the classes, with members that range from 12 to 45+ years of age both male and female.

The latest beginners course, started on Tue 21 October, saw an interesting new group of beginners, 18 in total, with a predominance of young women. Once more the club is now at saturation point and will not accept beginners for a while, probably until well into the year 2004.

Massimo Gaetani, president of the club said: "I am so pleased that our classes are so successful: it's a demonstration that the big effort that we are all putting into the club pays back; it's a great satisfation."

The club, born in 1999 has a total of 70-80 members and tries to target just very keen people: so far it worked very well.
