Hello again, Even more competition news! On Saturday 3rd November, Sheffield university is holding a kyu grade competition (coloured belts) which promises to be a good one for those not long into the sport as well as some of the more advanced players. The grade boundaries are: Novice- Orange belt Green and Blue belts Brown Belts (point scoring) Obviously there is a logistical issue with travelling all the way to Sheffield, but I have been in touch with someone at Sheffield Judo club and may have a solution. Since weigh in is at 9 in the morning, we would have to travel up the night before and he has told me that it is likely people in the club will be able to put us up for the Friday night (sofas, floors= sleeping bags). I have looked into travel and the cheapest option would be to get a coach (4 hour journey) there and back, which along with a few taxis/buses to get to and from venue, is likely to cost in the region of £20-25 roughly (entry will be £15 on top of this). Sheffield Uni will have the same problem for the london open come November, so I suggested that if someone from their club gives you a place to stay for the comp, then you should offer a place for them for the London comp. Obviously, if you really can't accommodate people, don't be put off; but if you can, please do (otherwise it is a little bit out of order to expect it from them!)- sofas/floorspace is perfectly adequate. Please get back to me if you're interested, so I can tell him how many of us would need accommodation. Email: philip.rudden09@imperial.ac.uk Philip Rudden Comp Sec PS. There is nothing stopping you making alternate travel/accommodation plans if you want to, eg: staying with a friend, taking the train. --- Imperial College Judo Club w: http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/acc/judo e: judo@imperial.ac.uk
