FOUR members of the Flaming Sun Karate Club have passed a gruelling examination of their skills to achieve black belt dan grades.

The four from the Chester Lane-based club underwent a four-hour test of their skills.

As a result Lisa Harrison and Dave Phoenix both attained black belt first dans.

And Carol Lea and Neil Ball reached black belt second dan gradings.

The club trains on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6-7.30, when new members will be made welcome.
