Friday night training – temporary arrangements

By

In Forthcoming events, News

Unfortunately, the scouts have hired out the Bishopton Scout Hall for the next 3 Fridays so we are unable to use it.

We are aware that there are a number of people who only attend on this day each week so we are taking this opportunity to carry on with our occasional programme of club meets.

Susie has arranged for our club to go to the Southside Judo Club this Friday (28/02/2014) and the next two (07/03/2014 & 14/03/2014) for a visit.

Stevie and Chris will be going along this Friday and they are happy to take anyone who needs a lift.

The arrangements for all of the Fridays are:

Under 8s

Meet/pick-up at Bishopton Scout Hall: 5.30pm

Class: 6pm to 7pm

Over 8s

Meet/pick-up at Bishopton Scout Hall: 6.00pm

Class: 7pm to 8pm

We imagine that most of you will be able to make your own way to the class but you can still meet at Bishopton Scout Hall at the indicated times and follow Stevie or Chris in your cars.

For those who want to travel to Southside Judo Club directly, the address is:

Pirie Park Primary School
337 Langlands Road
Glasgow G51 4AW

Club meets are very valuable for the children in exposing them to different coaching and Judo styles – they are also good fun and an opportunity to other judoka. We hope you can come along for the next few Fridays and enjoy the hospitality of Southside Judo Club.

In Forthcoming events, News

We are pleased to announce that the Clyde Challenge 2014 will be held on Sunday 4th May 2014.

The competition will be held at the ON-X Linwood Sports and Community Centre, Brediland Road Linwood Scotland PA3 3RA.

The venue has held a number of Judo competitions and understands how to help us run a great competition.

Online entry is available here and good old paper entry forms can be printed from here.

As a club, we have always believed that the introduction to competition should be gradual and the Clyde Challenge is intended for less experienced judoka of all ages and will be grade limited for each age band. Current national Age-band medal holders and members of the Judo Scotland Transition or Performance squads (or equivalent) are not eligible to enter.

We look forward to welcoming you at the competition!

The full details are on the dedicated Clyde Challenge 2014 page.
