We will have our annual Christmas diner on the 14th of December. Please confirm that you are coming and where you want to go by taking part in the survey on our Facebook page here. That would be a great time to celebrate the end of the term together and to have a good time with the new friends you have made on the mats!

If you want to improve your Judo over the break and make new friends, one of the best opportunity you have is Judo Camps. Luckily, we have 2 different ones going on during the holidays. The first one is in the UK (Kent) with a VERY international crew (details here – from the 16th to the 19th of December). The other one is in France and the sessions will be run by a 8th Dan: Hiroshi Katanish from the 27th to the 29th of December (details attached – The document is in French but email me back or PM me on Facebook if you want to go).

The next competition coming up is the Ecole Polytechnique one, in France on the 28th of January. Everything part of the transportation will be provided FOR FREE. So if you are interested, please check your personal timetable this week and let me know very soon if you would like to come. That is a great opportunity to travel all together to a rather cool place (I am not biased), train for BUCS and have good fun! Moreover, we might probably be able to get a training session in a very prestigious French Judo Club on the Friday and that is not to be missed! Please come back to me asap and let us know if you would like to come by taking part in the event here.

Just to remind you: Friday session will be held until the end of the term at Budokwai from 8 to 9:30pm for FREE, that is an amazing deal in an amazing club and you don’t want to miss it! After the break, we are coming back to the Union Gym as it used to be from 9 to 11pm.

Don’t forget to buy your membership AND to pay the mat fees if you have not done so. This vital for the club and could be done here.
