CRASH MAT DONATION

We received a very generous donation from one of our  most supportive families The Bruton`s aka The “Oh No Boy`s” (Adam, Gill, Callum, Joesph, Cierien & Jamie) which after much deliberation have used to purchase a Nage Komi  Crash mat that will enable us to execute a different range of Ashi Waza techniques during Nage Komi sessions. Very big THANKS from us and I am sure from all Edge members to you for this very generous donation.

TESCO VOUCHERS

The voucher scheme has started and we have till May to collect our target figure of 28,000

This year we would like to go high tech and get the Video Camcorder and the Projector so we can take our athletes to the next level with some  Performance, contest, technique Analysis etc., live stream Judo  tournaments and run our own fight nights (race nights) developing the social side of our club.

CLUB MARK

James volunteered and put himself forward to undertake this massive task on behalf of the club to work through paperwork bringing the club up to government standard and help us achieve Clubmark status. Since receiving the Clubmark Pack, after reading through the rhetoric, he has applied for and been offered employment in Sydney, Australia and hopes to be down under by May 2010. We obviously wish him all the best in his new adventure and would like to remind him that the Clubmark Pack will be in the filling cabinet with his name on it for the day he returns home.
