Evening all, A number of things on the agenda in this email, so please read all that are relevant to you (or if you're bored, read everything!) *Competition:* First off, the* London Open* is coming up *next Saturday*. If anyone has yet to enter, the deadline is this Friday!! Phil is dealing with all the competition entries, so if you want to enter, please email him ( philip.rudden09@imperial.ac.uk) with your details ASAP! Alternatively, if you want to be a crazy independent person and enter yourself, you can do so here: https://www.onlineentries.co.uk/events/london/20121124.php . But please let us know so we know to look out for you when we go! * * * * *Membership and Mat fees:* For those of you who haven't bought *MEMBERSHIP*, you can do so here<https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/shop/club-society-project-products/judo-products/224/judo-membership-12/13> For anyone who hasn't bought *MAT FEES *(and I know this is most of you!), click here <https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/activities/a-to-z/014> immediately. Beginners need to pay for the 'Beginners Mat fees' which takes into account your 4 free sessions. Everyone else, sorry, you're loaded with the full amount. All note that I can check to see who has bought stuff, so have no fear that I will find you out if you haven't. When I do, I will repeatedly *hit you with a spoon* until you either buy membership/mat fees, or succumb to a very slow death. (For anyone who does not get this reference, please refer to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VDvgL58h_Y - you now know what's in store!) *Christmas Dinner:* On a more cheery note, we will be having a Christmas dinner this year. If you would like to come (restaurant to be confirmed), please fill in the doodle link below so we can pick the best date for everyone. http://doodle.com/2r5abx352ngpur7r Much Judo love, Your Captain
