May closure dates

locked-door1Please note there will be no Judo on the following dates in May:

  • Thursday 5 May – hall in use for local elections
  • Thursday 19 May – no coaches available. We did consider asking an external coach to cover dates for us, but at present Thursday numbers are not sufficient to make this a worthwhile proposition

Randori session this Saturday

RandoriPlayers are invited to join the randori session with Holbrook this Saturday (12 March) – would be great to see as many Court Lane players there as possible. It would build nicely on the progress we have made this year, and set players up nicely for the Hampshire Closed.

The session will run 10-12 noon at Holbrook Judo Club, Brune Park School in Gosport. There is a £5 mat fee.

We reopen this Tuesday, after the half term break.

Can’t wait to get back on the mat and get working again!
