This is the final week of term for 2024 – our final classes are tonight (17 December) and Thursday (19 December).
Classes will resume from Tuesday 7 December.
We’d like to say a big Well Done to everyone, and thank you to those who supported our session with Nekoda – we hope you all enjoyed it. It was nice to be able to welcome players from other clubs (Holbrook, Meridian and Chichester) across both sessions and was a fantastic way to wrap up the year.
It’s been a great year – we have expanded our mat area, most of our classes continue to be well supported and we have finally got a functioning committee in place, of which more in the New Year. It means that a lot of the background administration essential to running a club is now in place.
Looking forward to next year,
- we are keen to see more players coming forward to grade (it has been difficult this year with Tony working away a lot to divert attention to grading)
- hopefully players will attend the Hampshire squad sessions – it’s a great way to train with other players.
- we would like to see more players entering competitions – details of competitions and events are published at www.sajudo.org.uk and www.britishjudo.org.uk
- we would like to recruit more novice players in – do you have a friend who you think would enjoy judo?
- we would like to see our second session on a Thursday better supported.
We’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, once again thank you for all your support and see you in 2025!


It’s our last week of training before Christmas, be great to see as many of you on the mat as possible.
There will be a two week Christmas break this year.
The Club is now closed for the Christmas holidays.
