As you will be aware from our listing of upcoming events, this weekend should have seen Hampshire hosting the Kyu Grade and Low Grade Opens. Sadly, for reasons that are not entirely clear, these events have been cancelled. Low grade junior players should now be considering the High Wycombe Mini Mons tournament on 20 November. It’s a nice venue, and only 90 minutes away.
The Hampshire events have been replaced by a randori session, open to all players (junior and senior). The event will run from 10-12 noon at Places Leisure in Eastleigh. A £7.50 mat fee will apply, all junior red and yellow belt players will receive a medal or certificate.
We would urge all players to take advantage of this opportunity to practise with players from other clubs.

Players are invited to take place in a randori at Holbrook judo club on Saturday 15 September.
The Club re-opens on Tuesday 9 January… but you have a chance to clear away the Christmas cobwebs (and maybe burn a few pounds of Christmas turkey) on Saturday 6, with a randori session at Holbrook Judo Club.
Just a reminder that there is a randori session at Holbrook Judo Club this Saturday, 10.00-12.00.
Court Lane junior players are invited to take part in a randori session at Holbrook Judo Club on 4th March.
All competitive players aged 11-18 are invited to attend Osaka Judo Club for their 2nd open mat randori on Wednesday 13 October. The session runs from 7-9, at Maida Gym, Aldershot. There is no mat fee.
It’s nearly time to get back on the mat.
