“HEAR YE! HEAR YE!”

End of term dates

Posted on July 10, 2026

The school will be soon be shutting for summer break – which means our classes will also come to an end.

Our final dates will be :

  • Tuesday 14 July – as normal
  • Thursday 16 July – NO JUDO. The school has advised us that they will be using the hall. Apologies for the late notice, this does mean we have run our last Thursday session. Thursday players are of course welcome to join us on a Tuesday.
  • Tuesday 21 July – as normal. Drinks afterwards in Drayton Tavern if anyone fancies…

Sessions will recommence on Tuesday 8th September.

We’re open again!

Posted on June 29, 2026

The heat is gone – for now at least! – meaning we can return to Judo without fear of spontaneously combusting…

Classes will resume tomorrow (Tuesday) and hopefully run uninterrupted to the end of term. Rumours are of another heatwave in July, let’s hope not but we will monitor and adjust accordingly. We hate closing but player safety has to come first, plus there is the financial impact of hiring the hall if no one turns up…let alone the stress of laying and packing away the mats.

Those who were hoping to grade last week, we will grade this week as a priority.

Tuesday night judo cancelled

Posted on June 22, 2026

With the double whammy of temperature (we are currently under an amber heat alert) and England playing in the football world cup, we have decided to cancel Tuesday’s session. We will review Thursday and advise later in the week.

Thank you all those who responded to our poll.
