News for 2009

What a brilliant Christmas party, a great turnout and a lot of hungry kids as most of the food was eaten this year!
Bryan and Elaine kept the fun coming with game after game for the judoka and their siblings. Mums and Dads did us proud with their contributions to the buffet table and finally all the kids went away with handfuls of sweets from Bryan.
A small token of appreciation was given to the club volunteers as a thankyou for all their hard work this year.

The Gloucestershire Open Championships were held on the 31st October at Newent leisure Centre, we had 10 players entered and they did us proud.

Bryan and Elaine were impressed by the standard of judo performed by our squad of players at the competition.
Our players won 3 golds and 4 bronzes and even those players who didn't medal Luke Baker, Izzy Butler and Mateusz Figlak all performed well.
The medals were as follows:
Gold - Evan Barber (Boys 8-11years) +50kg
Gold - Carrie Nicholls (Girls 8-11years) -48kg
Gold - Brodie Nicholls (Girls 8-11years) +48kg
Bronze - Michal Figlak (Boys 12-15years) -60kg
Bronze - Cellan Long (Boys 8-11years) -27kg
Bronze - Rhys Long (Boys 12-15years) -50kg
Bronze - Rebecca Norris (Girls 8-11years) -40kg
