I would like to congratulate Val on being awarded her 7th dan. I have known Val for the past 25 years when I started to train at her dojo in Lovedean, when she was a 1st Kyu. I can't think of any one who deserves it more. She is a credit to Shihan Mac McCarthy in the way she runs her club and the way she teaches on the mat.
