We are delighted to announce our latest new grades. Some of these are long overdue, having been delayed by the club’s enforced shutdown.

Congratulations to:

  • Harriet Stevenson – 1st mon
  • Renee Cleugh – 2nd mon
  • Ophelia Cleugh – 2nd mon
  • Chloe Lymer – 8th mon
  • Mieszko Polak – 9 mon

All grades have been registered with the British Judo Association, hopefully formal acknowledgement will not be too delayed!

Thank you for a great summer of Judo!

Wow, what a fab summer of Judo we have had!

It’s a long time since we have managed to run classes over the summer holidays, thank you so much for supporting and to the school for making the hall available on the Saturday mornings.

We have seen nearly every junior member attend at least once over the summer period, and had some new players join. We were also delighted to see the return of Amy Roberts – it’s great to have you back.

Congratulations to Renèe and Ophèlia Cleugh, who passed their grading examination to 1st mon.

The summer has been marked by Olympic and Paralympic medal success – huge congratulations are due to Olympian Chelsie Giles, who winning Team GB’s first medal at Tokyo 2020 made Judo front page news, and Paralympians Elliot Stewart and Chris Skelley. Skelley’s gold medal was our first Paralympic Judo gold since Simon Jackson MBE in 1996.

We are taking a short break now, as school resumes. Classes will resume on Tuesday 7th September, at 6pm. See you on the mat!
