Hi everyone, A reminder that we will be holding our *AGM* *THIS Thursday (18:30-20:00, Physics room 1004)*. This is your chance to pick a committee who will represent you well in the next year, and make the club bigger and better than ever, so make sure you come along! :) The plan is to go for drinks and food in the Union afterwards, to celebrate your new committee members, and the end of my threats with spoons and swords (well...ok, you still have next term, but don't worry, you're almost there!!) If you're thinking about running but haven't made up your mind, I can personally tell you it's definitely worth it! Also, if you are running, but you're not 100% sure that I know, please TELL ME because some people may have to vote by proxy because they can't make the AGM (if you can't make it, please email me and I will give you a list of who's running and for what!). If I don't know you're running, I can't give your name for people to vote - please let me know before Weds evening!!) On a less exciting (but still very important note), now is the time for me to nag you (and threaten!) once again about mat fees: So far on my* happy face list* for this term's mat fees are: Aled Moses Jonathan Dumazert Miguel Escudero Matthias Seher Simon Escobar Myself Matt Scales Guillermo Marrero Jad Carson Oliver Lantwin Ayomide Olatunji Andres Olivares Thanos Chatzopoulos Petr Vikhorev Hollie Limbrick Kimberly Mason Swee Hang Chong Chris Holdsworth-Swan Tom Alpe Aminuddin Yahya Jayshan Ratnakumar Well done to you all, you get a happy face: :) The rest of you, you know what to do!! If you're a *regular member* of the club and have not started Judo this Spring term, please purchase these mat fees: https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/shop/club-society-project-products/jud… If you've* just started Judo* this term, please purchase these mat fees: https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/shop/club-society-project-products/jud… A reminder of the positions you can run for at the AGM are: *Club Captain* *Treasurer** Secretary* *Web Editor* *Competition Secretary* *Team Captains (Men and Women)* *Social Sec* *Kit and Online Orders Secretary (aka Kit Bitch)* You MUST be a full time Imperial student to be eligible to be a committee member.

by Judo, Judo 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

Hi guys and girls, It's been a while since the last judo social so here it is two in one week!!! (and no excuses: BUCS will be over so no "I need to make weight" or "I'm not drinking" bullshit) First of all next Wednesday (27th of February): 2nd ACC Barnight of this term. Usual format (though I have been told that pricing need to be confirmed: I will keep you up to date on this) with a cool theme: RUBIK'S CUBE Rules that everyone should be following on the night (judo and all other clubs): "You must wear one item in each of the six different rubik's cube colours: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, White. The aim of the game is, by swapping items of clothing with other people, you eventually end up wearing just one colour, at which point you have won! What better way to meet people than by taking off their clothes??" should be great fun!!! Secondly we are having a house party at Andreas' preceded by a meal on the 2nd of March to celebrate (or cry about) BUCS results. Details to follow but we will meet for food around 7-8pm in the Bayswater area and then head over to Andreas' to get drunk (again no excuses for not drinking). Please reply to this email if you want to come on Saturday so that we can get an idea of numbers. Good luck to those fighting at the weekend! bring us back some metal!!!!

Hi all, it's that time of the year again! Time for everyone to* elect a new committee *and end my reign of tyranny! So the proposed date for this is*Thursday 14th March *. The roles up for grabs are: *CLUB CAPTAIN* - involves the general running of the club, sorting out training times and hiring rooms, responsible for the well-being of the club, and nagging people to pay mat fees (*so whilst we're on the subject, if you haven't paid this term's mat fees - and I know there's a lot of you - please cough up!!

Also has to organise club meetings and make the budget with the treasurer to ensure next year's union grant. *TREASURER *- responsible for the money of the club, sorts out paying for coaching and ground hire amongst other things, and processing transactions for the club (there are lots of training manuals to help you so don't be put off if you haven't had any experience before!) *SECRETARY *- involved in taking the minutes and liasing with London Judo to sort out any London officiating (for example, next year we are hoping to set up a London league - secretary would be involved in liaising with other clubs and sorting out dates) *MEN'S TEAM CAPTAIN *- involved in organising and helping choose the teams for team competitions. General motivation of training and competition-oriented judokas *COMPETITION SECRETARY - *responsible for finding out competition dates and getting people to enter competitions and sorting out travel to the various venues. *SOCIAL SECRETARY *- possibly the most fun job, responsible for organising various social outings and tickets to ACC nights, and making sure everyone is suitably drunk on these occasions! *WEB EDITOR *- responsible for making sure the IC Judo web page is up to date and has all the info on it that anyone wanting to join needs to know.

USIST 2013
by Judo, Judo 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Good evening peeps, Yet another email about upcoming competitions. On the weekend starting 15th March is possibly the best competition of the university calendar (/of all time). The University of Shefield Invitational Student Tournament is a team competition with univeristy teams from all over the UK, as well as abroad, competing. Probably more important than this, there is a huge party out in Sheffield with all the Uni's after the fighting has finished on the Saturday. If you ask any of the more senior members that have been lucky enough to go, they will tell you how much fun this competition is. We drive up on the friday in the minibus, get weighed in, sleep on the mats, fight on the saturday, then out to party, and back on Sunday morning. Normally we team up with our friends a ULU judo and combine to form a few London teams. Each team is made up of 4 men (-73, -81, -90, +90) and 2 women (-57, +57). In the past we have entered at least 3 teams so there is room enough for everyone to go to this one. I have attached the competition info, so please have a read through yourselves. Whoever's interested reply to philip.rudden09(a)imperial.ac.uk so we can get an idea of numbers and begin to form some teams. I will not be chasing you all up as I normally do, as I am sure we will have more than enough interest in this one! Phil --- Imperial College Judo Club w: http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/acc/judo e: judo(a)imperial.ac.uk
