“HEAR YE! HEAR YE!”
Regrettably, we are unable to offer classes over the Easter holiday, as the school is not available for evening lets.
This means there will be no Judo on the following dates:
Classes will resume from Tuesday 25 April.
Entry is now open for the Hampshire Red & Yellow Belt Closed, to be held on 30 April at Fleming Park Leisure Centre.
Entry forms can be found on the Hampshire Judo website.
Please note, this competition is being held AFTER our planned grading dates (we weren’t advised of dates). If any 6th mon players wish to compete, we are happy to grade these players only after the competition.
Action from 2009 Hampshire Open
With a singular lack of fanfare, dates have appeared on the Hampshire Judo website for 2017 competitions.
With the redesign of Fleming Park Leisure Centre and lack of storage for Hampshire’s mats, the hunt is on for a suitable home for forthcoming competitions.
After a short break, adult judo classes will resume tonight, 8 – 9pm.
Look forward to seeing you on the mat!
Please note that there will be no adult session on Tuesday 14 March.
Any adults wishing to train should attend the earlier advanced junior session, 7-8pm.
Normal schedule will resume from Tuesday 21 March.
A massive THANK YOU to everyone who has signed up to and used the Easyfundraising scheme. Since we have been affiliated to the scheme, your online shopping has raised over £300 for the club, enabling us to keep mat fees down and invest in sports and fitness equipment.
Easyfundraising is easy to use, and doesn’t cost you a penny extra, all donations are made by the supplier.
If you haven’t already, you can sign up via https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/courtlanejudoclub.
The school has notified us of new parking arrangements, to commence immediately. Please see the communication below.
We have reviewed our Letting procedures regarding the security and access to the building.
From w/c 6th March there will be no parking allowed on the playground and the gates will be kept locked. You will be able to park in the staff car park, next to the school office.
The small gate, next to the main reception door, will be open so that you can still walk across the playground to enter via the doors to the large/small halls.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Please do not use the doors directly into the hall from the staff car park – these doors are usually secured shut and require us to take attention from class in progress to open. It also increases the risk of rain etc. coming in on to the mats if these doors are opened during inclement weather.
We are delighted to announce the appointment of our new Club Welfare Officer.
Karen Miller – mother of Freddie and Wilf – has taken on the role of Welfare Officer for the Club. Karen has already joined the management committee of the Club and will undergo training provided by UKSport and NSPCC to equip her for this role.
Further details on the essential role of Club Welfare Officer can be found on the BJA website.
Contact details etc. for Karen will be published shortly.
The following dates have been set aside for grading in March and April:
Please note that this grading opportunity will only be offered to novice, red and yellow belt players.
We feel that it is important that those players who already have orange, green or blue belts, should spend time in their grades and grow into their belts. Recent competition experience has suggested that there is quite a gap in practical ability between our players and similar graded but more competitive players from other clubs.
Again, just a reminder that players should be seeking to engage in randori and competition that is appropriate to their grade!
Places now being offered to Portsmouth area Judo players 2 – 4 June 2017, training and more in Le-Havre with JPG judo!
This will cost £39.00 child and £79.00 adult, players will need to have adequate insurance as well, but this promises to be a good weekend trip travelling as foot passengers from Portsmouth International Ferry Port.
