Korea 2008 - Worldmark
Worldmark Provides Caledonian Taekwondo with the Solution
2008 has been a momentous year for Caledonian Taekwondo. With the help and support of students and parents the club raised £4000 to fund the Lee Sung Lee Exchange Programme to South Korea.
This annual 6 week cultural and sporting exchange was a resounding success - languages were learned, ideas were exchanged, training was survived and friendships were made.

This year the club was assisted in it's efforts by Liz Williamson, a key member of the playing team and tireless fundraiser for the programme. Liz located, sourced and organised the team in various initiatives and crucially organised corporate sponsorship from Worldmark.

It is a world leader that prides itself on manufacturing facilities that operate in an environment of continuous improvement.

The financial assistance provided by Chief Executive Officer John Dargan, through Frank Duffin, Deputy Finance Director & Company Secretary enabled us to purchase Caledonian Taekwondo Team tracksuits for our elite competition team.
 
Through Worldmark's recognition, support and branding the tracksuits made our team instantly recognisable, professional and confident no matter where in the world.

Our Ambition for 2009

This is our chance to show our club and country at its finest. With the continued support and help of parents, friends and sponsors the club can continue to grow and aspire to be world leaders in Taekwondo.
