Rachel Towle has been selected for the British team competing at the 2016 Cadet European Judo Championships in Vantaa, Finland taking place on 1-3 July 2016.
This is a great testament to Rachel – only 10 women & 10 men are permitted to enter per national association!
I’m sure you will all join me in congratulating Rachel and wishing her every success.
It’s likely that the EJU will offer a live stream of the action. It should be available from the EJU home page.

Many of you will know Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games U57kg Silver medallist Stephanie Inglis.
As reported by Judo Scotland, Stephanie has been severely injured in a road traffic incident in Vietnam.
Unfortunately, Stephanie’s travel insurance had expired and her medical bills are costing £2000/day.
A crowd funding page has been set up on behalf of Stephanie, to help with the medical expense, click here to show your support.
As some of you might have noticed (!), the Tuesday evening sessions at Parkmains have been running from 1900-2100 hrs with running starting at 1830 hrs.
This has been because of the exam season and rather than take a decision every week, we have decided to change the session times for the rest of May 2016.
The following sessions will run 1900-2100 hrs with running starting at 1830 hrs:
Normal session times with the split session will resume on Tuesday 07/06/2016.
