Sensei John Robertson
(Chief Instructor)

I have received a letter from Bognor Regis Town Council to inform us that the Club has once again been successful in gaining a grant for £100 towards the cost of running a training day later this year. More information will be announced when available.

 

Thank you to all the Instructors and Student of Bognor Zen Judo Club for helping to make this another interesting and entertaining year.
If you know anyone who might be interested in joining the club next year bring them along or get them to contact me.
Have a very good Christmas and I will see you all in the New Year (Monday 10th January).

Sensei John Robertson presents student Laurance Dennis
with The McCarthy Student of the Year award for 2010

 

As the 15th December was the last training session this year, the instructors and students took part in the traditional games session, which after the usual bending of the rules was declared a draw.
It was good once again to have John Tomlinson back on the mat after a number of months away due to work pressures.

The evening was also marked by the award of not one but two McCarthy Student of The Year certificates.
 These are presented to those students the Instructors feel have consistently demonstrated the Zen Judo Spirit over the past year.

 This year they were awarded to Jon Taylor who has demonstrated both determination and commitment after returned to the mat after having a pace maker fitted and to Yvonne Robertson for both her support of students on the mat and her long running commitment to The Zen Judo Family and The Bognor Regis Club.

After posing for the photos the evening was rounded of with some food and a raffle.
We will be back on 5th January 2009 at the earlier time of 6.30 to 7.30pm for Juniors and 7.30 to 8.45pm Juniors / Seniors.
