Judo Scotland has announced the Senior Team selections for the 2016 National Team Championships to be held on 2nd July 2016.

We have two Clyde judoka selected for the Senior Team:

• Jamie Black – U73kg
• Laura Hewitt – U52kg

Well done to both of them on making the team – it reflects a lot of hard work and talent.

It’s not long until the 2016 Clyde Grand Prix Judo competition (Sunday 26/06/2016 at the Lagoon Leisure Centre in Paisley) and we need some adult volunteers to help with the stewarding and the tea stall.

This is a great opportunity for parents to support the club.

The club has gained a lot of praise from Judo Scotland and attendees for the stewarding of our competitions and the provision of a tea stall and we’d like to maintain that reputation. However, we need to share the burden so that we don’t have the same folk working all day on the tea stall or stewarding.

We’d like to get enough volunteers to be able to put together a rota that avoids long stints and has enough flexibility to make sure that you are not volunteering when your child is on the mat.

Please contact Iain Wilson if you can help. Let him know if you are volunteering for the tea stall, stewarding or either.

You don’t need to volunteer for the whole day – even a couple of hours will really make a difference. The more people who volunteer the shorter the shifts!

Although we’ll accept volunteers at any time, it would be really helpful if you could let Iain know before Wednesday 22/06/2016 that you can volunteer so that he can sort out and publish a rota.

We understand that some people are having difficulties with Judo Scotland’s new online entry system.
