Hey guys! So yeah... we´re a bit short of responses in the facebook poll for the hoodie order, so we thought another e mail could maybe serve to get the ball rolling again. Same as in the previous e mail, we need 25 people to agree to get an Imperial College Judo Hoodie for just 25 pounds (from a previous base price of 35). So, if you havent replied to the poll, please do, if you don´t have access to the facebook group contact Cristophe (christophe.wilhelm10(a)imperial.ac.uk) or contact me (guillermo.marrero-samarin11(a)imperial.ac.uk) or Alice (alice.mitchell09(a)imperial.ac.uk) directly to include you guys in the list of interested people. Common guys, its a really awesome deal, I mean... who wouldnt want a hoodie of our absolutely awesome club? So lets get those numbers up!! We only need 7 more people :) Thanks guys, Have a good Holiday, Guillermo --- Imperial College Judo Club w: http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/acc/judo e: judo(a)imperial.ac.uk

Last training before Easter!
by Alice Mitchell 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hello everybody :) A reminder that tomorrow is the last training before Easter break, and it is most definitely on, so let's end what's been a fantastic season of hard training and competitions on a high! Plan is to go to the Easter carnival at the union afterwards for copious amounts of alcohol and to test your skills as a gladiator in the unions battle ring. So if you don't fancy throwing people from the club after Friday, come try your luck beating them with foam batons :D Training for summer term will start again on Friday 3rd May. Please note there will be TRAINING ON FRIDAY ONLY in the summer term. We have also changed venues and rimes slightly, and for summer term will be training at the UNION GYM 8-10PM! I hope to see you all there to throw, strangle, choke and arm-lock your stresses of exam season away :) Much judo love, Your humble Captain (who will be threatening with spoons and swords, whichever your fear the most, if you haven't paid mat fees!!!!!)

My fellow judokas (lolz), It´s your unheard-of secretary Guillermo here with the latest news on the IC Judo hoodie purchase. Basically, we need at least 25 to say yes to the hoodie for us to get an awesome discount from kukri (our cheapest choice) bargained by yours truly (Sorry it took so long). Hoodie standard price is going to be 25,00. We can also get personalized names for 4.50 more. We have to bear in mind that the base price has gone down from 35, so its not a bad deal at all!! I´ll post a poll on the facebook group with the simple question: do you want an IC Judo Hoodie or not? Whoever answers yes will be automatically counted and signed up to the scheme, so please don’t answer yes if you´re not going to buy it as we need a certain number of people to be eligible for the discount. I leave attached here the link with the lists of possible base designs for the hoodies. Bear in mind that for us to ask por a particular design we need to order at least ten units of a single design, so at most we will have one or two designs (Maybe three if we get more people in!). So as well if you could drop an e-mail to our captain Alice or to myself with the design you prefer and your size, we will choose the two most popular, send another e mail to you guys, and unless someone is completely against their particular design, we´ll place the order! Here is the link: http://www.kukrisports.com/gb-shop-wio-hoodiesfleeces Lots of judo love, Guille --- Imperial College Judo Club w: http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/acc/judo e: judo(a)imperial.ac.uk
