Hey guys, Hope you’ve been enjoying Judo so far! I’ve got a long email with lots of important information for you below. If you have any questions about anything just reply to this email or message a committee member. Election Our President and Webmaster David will unfortunately not be carrying on with Judo this year ☹ As a result, we are holding an election for these positions next week on Wednesday 24th after Judo. If a current member of committee successfully gets one of the roles, there may also be an election for their previous role. Anyone is welcome to run for a position, just turn up on the day. Even if you are not running for anything it would be good to have as many people as possible turn up to vote! We will be meeting after Judo outside the Union Gym at 18:15. The room for the election hasn’t yet been confirmed by the union, but once any information comes through it should be posted on the FB group. Membership and Mat Fees As the taster sessions are coming to an end, please make sure to buy membership and pay your mat fees! You can buy Autumn fees, which allow you to come to as many sessions as you like throughout the Autumn term, or get a discount by paying for the whole year at once. Membership/ Mat Fees: https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/shop/club-society-project-products/judo... Student Voucher Scheme This is a scheme for students that gets you a BJA licence, a gi and your first grading all for £20. You need a licence to take part in competitions, grade to higher belts, and be insured against injuries – it’s basically essential. You can place your order via this link: www.britishjudo.org.uk/svs<http://www.britishjudo.org.uk/svs> Competition Our first competition of the year is coming up – the London Universities and Colleges Open! We’re hoping to see lots of you sign up! Don’t worry if you’re a complete beginner, there are different categories for beginners and higher belts, and there will be lots of other complete beginners there. The competition is held at the Sports Park at the University of East London on the 11th of November - we will send out an email a bit closer to the time with more info. I’ve also attached their sign-up sheet information. Unfortunately, the competition is only open to students from Imperial ☹ If you’re interested in entering, make sure to buy JudoSoc membership and also sign up to the SVS scheme soon as you need a licence to compete. We will be doing sign-ups for the competition in class, or you can also reply to this email with the following info: Name – Group(s) – Weight Group – Grade – BJA Licence No – DOB – M/F Love, Mehreen (JudoSoc Secretary) --- Imperial College Judo Club w: http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/acc/judo e: judo@imperial.ac.uk twitter: imperial_judo facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/161492510549009/?ref=ts&fref=ts
