Christmas party & Judo this Saturday
by Judo, Judo 12 Dec '03

12 Dec '03

Hi everyone! First to remind you there is a session this Saturday 1.30pm. Everyone is welcome to come along so please do! It's a good chance to get some practice in before Christmas. And it’s the Christmas party next Tuesday 16th! We're going to the Gardening Club in Covent Garden leaving from IC after the session (which finishes at 8pm). Tuesday is a big student night. There's a wide variety of music. House and dance in one room and soul, rock, disco with some R+B and latin in the other. And the best thing it's 1pound on all spirits and 1.50 on selected drinks - It'll be a good night! The only draw back is its 6pounds to get in - but I think the cheap drinks more than make up for that! Other info: its open till 3am and the dress code is smart / casual. So hope to see you Saturday and Tuesday, Julie

Dear All, I will be having a little party at my place as I am getting even closer to the 30 mark. So as mentioned at the session on Tuesday, if you fancy coming along drop me an email and I will send you directions to my place and to the club we are going to later and I can put you on the guest list. Plan is 8pm my place, and then Bar Digress before 10pm cos then it is free (5 quid after). Note: If you wanna come to the club, its sorta smart casual, i.e. no trainers. It's also officially over 21s so look good, be smart. Obviously my place has no age limit and we dosh out alcohol to everyone. Email me on: jkj(a)imperial.ac.uk See you later, Jan

Sessions and Judogis
by Judo, Judo 15 Nov '03

15 Nov '03

Firstly we are back to normal next week, Tuesday 5-8, Thursday 5-7 and an advanced session on Saturdays, all in the union gym, do come along. For those of you who bought judogis off us it is going to take a bit longer than expected to get the money out of the union so it will probably be a week thursday at the absolute earliest, unfortunately we seem to have rather upset the twat who is the ACC treasurer and it may be a bit longer, Hope to see you all Tuesday, Duncan

Hi Everyone! Hope your all enjoying our sessions. Thanks to everyone who was there last night for a very successful session, and well done to the judojunkies quiz team who missed out on prizes by 1.5 points! Next time. I've got a few important announcements for you so please read the following: Advanced Session - This Saturday 25/10/03 We will be running an advanced session for graded players this Saturday. In the union gym starting at 1.30pm for about 2hours. So if this applies to you please come along. I don't think it's too early on a Saturday! Club visit - Next Tuesday 28/10/03 We don't have the union gym for next Tuesdays session 28/10/03 due to the careers fayre. But not to be deterred and so we don't miss out on our judo we're doing a club visit. We'll be going to the Judokan in Hammersmith. It is a very good session taught by Percy Sekine 9th Dan (a little guy who was world champion when there were no weight categories!). We'll meet down stairs in the union at 5.30 to leave at 5.45 going by tube. The session costs £4 (this is reduced from the normal visitor's rate of£7) - it's defiantly worth it. You will need a gi if you want to go on the visit. We have a few complete gi's we can lend but it'll have to be on a first come first served basis. So if you need to borrow a gi send us an email, include your approximate height and build, and please let me know if you drop out. My mobile number is 07814520747 in case you miss us at the union. The Thursday sessions this Thursday 23/10/03 and next 30/10/03 are running as usual at 5pm. Club Meal - Tuesday 4/11/03 We'll be off to our first meal of the year at the traditional location - the Texas Lone Star (on glouster road) the place of large meals and cocktails. We'll go after the session which will finish at 7pm rather than 8pm. If you're going let us know so we know numbers. Judo Kits - Beginners We will be doing a bulk order of judo kits through the club. They are Shogun Silver plus standard. They are ideal for beginners and very good value £25 for the kit and £2 for the belt. If you want one come and see Duncan with your money at one of our sessions. Well be able to advise you on the size to get. The deadline for ordering is Tuesday 4/11/03. Judo Kits - Competition Deadline THIS THURSDAY 23/10/03 Jan has found some very good value mosquito gi's.
