Cherry Willingham Judo Club Newsletter

Introduction

Dear parents, judokas and other members,

This is the first of hopefully many news letters I will be producing through out the year. The aims of these bulletins are to update everyone at the club on current affairs, messages, future events and the club’s aims. Also I would like to invite anyone who wishes me to publish any comments or views they have (within reason)

Who’s Who?
Following the AGM which took place on the 25th of Feb, there has been a reshuffle in the committee and some other issues which will affect people at the club,
George Allan- Advertisements & promotions , Geoff Wilson - Head coach, Robert Maxwell- Chairman, Steve Lambert -Treasurer, (more names to be put on )

A New Direction
2009 can be a very fruitful year for the club, if we all pull together as a unit and make a big push for competitions. We have very talented fighters at the club which have potential to do well. We’ve all stepped up a gear since the new year, with the Tuesday session being more focused on fitness and fighting .
I believe competitions will help us build on our current form. With the Peterborough Under 20’s round the corner, there’s no better chance to test our metal and start the season as we mean to go on.
Head Coach: Geoff - shares a few words about the club
 

Future Competitions
Ipswich Under 16’s Age Banded Competition - 17th May
6th Salisbury Open Judo Championship Junior & Senior- 7th June
Goole Youth & Senior Competition -14th June
(please note that competitions do fill up quick, so its best to enter early )

The Seal of approval
(Small picture of stamp here)
This is a new promotion that has been introduced at the club, the komons and juniors have the chance to earn themselves a free session. Everyone will be given a card , the card must be presented at the desk each week to have it stamped. After a number of weeks the student will have earned a free lesson. This is a drive to get all children to take part at the club and be rewarded for their presence and participation.

Mat Chat
Cherry Willingham Judo Club is going to see the return of Charlotte sometime in the near future, after taking a break from judo to spend time with her 2 young children, she will be helping with the gradings and other club activities. We’re looking forward to seeing her back on the mat.

Other mat business. mat fees and membership fees have changed. The mat fees will fall to the previous charges and there’s a new membership deal which parents of multiple children can take advantage of .

1st Child = £10 2nd Child or Adult = £8
(Please note membership is due in at the end of march)

Training Dates

Message to Students
Just a reminder to all judokas, the club shop has a huge range of associated merchandise and other equipment which you will find useful, especially the new BJA Grading Syllabus book which all judokas doing grading will find very useful!!

(Remember to have fun, study hard and keep to the spirit of judo by helping each other out)
Many thanks from the coaching staff and the committee
