Dan gradings to be held twice a year
i.e. Summer Course and National Grading

National grading proposed in March or June of each year for Senior grades of 6^th Kyu and above.
(Hopefully regional gradings can be agreed three months either side of the National grading)

A National grading will provide standardisation at all levels and hopefully sufficient numbers of competitors to provide adequate gradings to all. The National grading will take the place of the current National Dan grading.
