Grange Judo Club gave a display at the Hayes Park Schools Summer Fete on Satuday 19th June. The students, mostly from the school, showed ehat they have learnt. This included throwing techniques as well as a bit of randori (free fighting). At the end there was also a short demonstration of Iaido, which is the Japanese art of drawing and cutting with a sword. This was done by the two instructors, Mike & Graham. Some of the photo's are below.

Grange Judo Club took part in a Christmas Interclub Team Challenge recently which was hosted by Harefield Judo Club and organised by Neil Roddy of Willow-Heart Judo Club. The teams involved were Harefield JC, Grange JC, Willow-Heart JC and Chalfont JC. In total 66 players took part and credit must me given to the organisers as everything ran fairly smoothly. Although we had the smallest team we ended up just being beaten by Chalfont JC with Willow-Heart in third and Harefield in forth. Our final medal haul was 4 Golds, 3 Silvers and 3 Bronzes. Well done to everyone who took part.
