If any of the more experienced Judokas are available on 26th July and would like to help out with the Olympic Torch event by aiding a taster session, please let me know and I will pass your details onto Luke.
Thanks,
Alice

Hi Alice,
Would you and Imperial Judo Club be interested in supporting the
Olympic Torch event in Holland Park on Thursday 26th July? The Budokwai
are organising a demonstration with some of their junior members, and Nick
Shepherd, BJA Development Coach will be facilitating a taster session
which maybe Thalia, Bronwyn or any of your more experienced Judokas could
support him with?
Let me know your thoughts and I will include you in the email detailing
more about the event.
Many thanks,
Luke.

Hi Luke,
Thanks for organising all of this! We are having a lot of trouble with
your proposed dates for a meeting about this. Neither me or Guillermo
(Secretary) are in the country for any of the dates proposed. I have asked
around all of the other members of the Judo club, and only Phil, the
Competition Secretary, is possibly available, however he is currently
searching for placements so may not be able to make it in the end either.
Are there any other possible dates that we could work around?
Regards,
Alice

Good Morning All,
Further to the continued growth of University Judo in London, we have
finally arrived at the exciting time where establishing an Intra-London
University Judo League is now a realistic prospect. Having now spoken to
each of the existing University Judo Clubs about such a proposal, everyone
is in agreement that this is the next desirable and necessary step for our
sport if we are to continue developing University Judo in London,
especially with regards to recruiting and retaining our student members.
Competitive opportunities aligned with an organised social calendar, will
provide us with an invaluable promotional tool when we enter the
recruitment phase during Freshers. Furthermore, with students now paying
more for their University careers, they will be looking for activities
which offer value for money and additionality, which an organised league
and intra-University social calendar would indeed offer. The Judo specific
benefits from such a proposal speak for themselves, with you all I am sure
agreeing that competing more regularly would enhance all of your
respective Judo experience and abilities.
This said, Glenn Spiers, Imperial Judo Club Head Coach has kindly drafted
an Intra-London University Judo League proposal, modelling a structure
which was successfully implemented for Scottish Universities, and which I
have attached to this email. Although the BJA will of course do our utmost
to support such a competition framework, it is imperative that we have the
full-support of each University Judo Club, and that you each take some
responsibility for ensuring that the league is organised and administered
in accordance to the guidelines and rules which we all eventually agree
upon.
The time has also come for Universities to take responsibility for
up-skilling certain members of their club to become referees and table
officials, with the BJA able to facilitate a Technical Officials Course
for students, in preparation for the League.
The next step in furthering this proposal is for each University to
provide at least two representatives at a proposed 2012-13 London
University Judo League Proposal planning meeting, preferably members of
next year's committee and desirably, a Club Secretary, who I would
recommend take responsibility for the administration and organisation of
fixtures, teams etc., and the Club Captain/Chairman, who would be
responsible for the team selection etc., in addition to the Head Coach.
Please review the dates below and advise on which date and whether morning
or afternoon would be preferential, and I will be sure to finalise the
date and time in accordance with the majority's availability. The meeting
will take place at the BJA London Office, located in London South Bank
University, next to Elephant and Castle Tube.
Thursday 12th July
Morning / Afternoon
Tuesday 17th July
Morning / Afternoon
Wednesday 18th July
Morning / Afternoon
I look forward to hearing from you in due course.
Best Regards,
Luke.
