27 Feb '14

Dear All, Thanks to everyone who is already running for positions! Please, we are in desperate need of a social secretary and a web editor. These jobs do not take much time and are really fun! The website is done and you just need to updated which is very easy. Being social sec is just the best job! You are in charge of organizing social, can it get any better?? Please think about running for some of these positions, it would be very sad if we do not have a full committee for next year! In addition, we are thinking of including the duty of looking for available sponsorship to the Secretary role. I hope this is fine for everyone running for secretary (you can still drop out if you do not want to do this). You can stand for election here<https://vote.union.ic.ac.uk/login.php> My ID for a seconder: ao1711, Best wishes, Andres. --- Imperial College Judo Club w: http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/acc/judo e: judo(a)imperial.ac.uk twitter: imperial_judo facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/161492510549009/?ref=ts&fref=ts

Training this week

18 Feb '14

Hi All, Remember training tomorrow is at the small room at the Budokwai. It will be a relax session, perfect before BUCS! Remember as well that here would be no training this Friday since most of us are leaving for BUCS early evening. We are currently looking at possible arrangements for Thursday session but I am afraid only the 12- 5 pm slots are available. I will have a chat with Glenn tomorrow and get back to you about what we do this Thursday. Best wishes, Andres. --- Imperial College Judo Club w: http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/acc/judo e: judo(a)imperial.ac.uk twitter: imperial_judo facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/161492510549009/?ref=ts&fref=ts

NO JUDO TODAY
by Judo, Judo 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Dear All, I am afraid we will have to cancel today's judo session! There is a problem with the Union Gym and it will be out of use until the 28th of February (at least). This means we will not be able to train there Thursday or Fridays. I am hoping to get Ethos for Fridays at the same time and hopefully some other space for Thursdays sessions but I am afraid it will be impossible to get that for today. I am very sorry for the short notice but I was just notified yesterday! For those who want to train today, the Budokwai hosts a beginners/intermediate level session from 6:30 to 7:30 and an advanced level session from 7:30-9. It is only 4 pounds if you say you are an Imperial student. You can find all the information here http://www.budokwai.co.uk/ I am sorry again, hopefully we will find an alternative for next Thursday. Remember tomorrows session is at the Budokwai anyway. Thanks! Andres. --- Imperial College Judo Club w: http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/acc/judo e: judo(a)imperial.ac.uk twitter: imperial_judo facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/161492510549009/?ref=ts&fref=ts

TRAINING THIS FRIDAY MOVED TO THE BUDOKWAI
by Judo, Judo 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Dear all, As some of you might know already, this Friday 14th of February we are celebrating Valentines' Day in a Judo way! Instead of our usual training at the ethos Gym, we would go to the Budokwai (4 Gilston Road London SW10 9SL) from 20:00 - 21:30. This is because a Japanese University team is coming to visit (12 girls and 12 boys). The session will cost only 4 pounds if you show your Imperial student card. It will be a great session so I hope many of you can come! We will probably go for dinner afterwards! See you there!
