Month: October 2015

As some of you will know, we have 8 club members travelling with the Judo Scotland-organised team to the 2015 Flanders Judo Cup being held in Lommel, Belgium over the 31/10/2015-01/11/2015.

The competition entry limit is 800 so it is a very large competition attracting entries from Ireland in the west to places like Poland, Russia and Azerbaijan in the east.

Nine Clyde Judo members were invited to attend by Judo Scotland although, as is the way with events organised months in advance, only 8 were able to travel:

• Ezri Bradley
• Laura Hewitt
• Christopher Love
• Benedict MacLennan-Patton (Travelling but not competing owing to an injury picked up last weekend whilst kicking an odd-shaped ball)
• Mellisa McGill
• Erin Peden
• Louis Saez
• Rachel Towle
• Conner Wilson

We wish them and all the other members of the Judo Scotland team the best of luck.

The competition pools have been published here.

For those of you intending to enter either the 2015 British Championships for Pre-Cadets and Cadets or the 2015 British Championships for Juniors and Seniors, be advised that the online entry for both competitions will open on Monday 19th October 2015 at 10.00am.

The British Championship is a tough competition so speak to one of the coaches before entering to make sure it is suitable.

The 2015 Clyde Rumble competition will be held on Sunday 29th November 2015.

The 2015 Clyde Rumble is a grade-limited competition aimed at beginners and the less experienced.

There will be three competition categories:

• AA-band for 3rd Mon and below.
• A-band for 6th Mon and below.
• Combined B/C for 9th Mon and below

There will be no formal weight categories and players will be grouped into pools of similar grade and weight. Pools will normally have 4 or 5 players.

Full details about the competition (including the entry form and links to online entry) can be found on the dedicated competition page:

We look forward to seeing you there on the day!
