Hi all!

The British University and Colleges Sports (BUCS) Championships will be taking place in Sheffield on the 20-21 February! This is the biggest and most important Judo competition on our calendar so I hope everyone signs up!

Weigh-ins are on Friday night and we will travel there and back together.

There is an individual competition for Dan grades (1^st Kyu and above) and Kyu grades, as well as a team competition. For the Kyu grades there is a minimum grade requirement of 4^th kyu (orange belt). If you aren’t yet an orange belt but want to participate don’t worry! Speak to Me/Alvise/Glenn and we’ll see whether you can be promoted in time.

The weight categories are the standard IJF ones of:

Women	Men
U48	U60
U52	U66
U57	U71
U63	U81
U70	U90
U78	U100
O78	0100

Entry costs around £20 and you will have to pay transport and lodging costs, however we will see whether the club can subsidise some of it.

For more information see http://www.bucs.org.uk/page.asp?section=17488&sectionTitle=Championships or the attached pdf.

If you are interested, then please reply to this email by this Sunday the 24^th January 2016 with your:

· Name

· Gender

· Grade

· Weight Category

· License No.

Otherwise, I will also be bringing a sign-up sheet to this week’s training sessions and you can sign up then. I hope to see you all signing up!

See you on the mats!
