We are pleased to announce that Court Lane Judo will be appearing at two school summer fairs this year.
First, we will be at Solent Junior School on 13 June. This request was received last week…
This will be followed by an appearance at Court Lane Junior School on 11 July.
These will be our first public appearances for some time. We are looking for dedicated volunteers to make up our demo team – please see Tony, Kev, Andy or Craig on Tuesday. We only have two weeks to practise before our first appearance.
As usual, there will be no Judo over the May half term:
Classes will recommence Tuesday 2 June.

Players must be aged eight and over, but under twelve years, and graded no higher than 6 mon (yellow belt +3 tags), to be eligible to represent Portsmouth. As usual we will be co-operating with Priory Judo Club to field the strongest team we can.
A number of players have expressed interested already and our first session on Tuesday 19 May will feature a round robin contest between Marcus Tree, Samuel and Jacob Boichot, and Fletcher Ellis for a place in the team at 27.1kg – 34kg.
We already have interest at the next weight group up, places at boys -27kg and girls 40.1-48kg are already under offer.
However if any players have not yet registered an interest please do so immediately, to enable us to assign places, arrange trials.
We need to register a Team Declaration by 5 June to be allowed to compete.
