HI Folks;
The sub-floor installation is completed and looks (and feels) great! The normal training schedule will resume on Monday evening. There are a few odds n’ ends to finish up but the main work is done.
Do drop by and try out the new subfloor. It gives a whole new feel to doing breakfalls!
Cheers
George

Sorry for the short notice but the dojo will be closed the week of Monday January 30 to Friday Feb. 3, 2012 for renovations. Our new sub-floor will be installed which will make landing on the mats a lot easier! If the dojo is available to open earlier than currently scheduled I will notify you by email.
This is also the last call for anyone interested attending the Labrador Provincial Judo Tournament, Feb. 17-19 in Goose Bay. The approximate cost for individuals would be $200 for air fare plus tournament registration and food. The provincial association and the MUN Judo Club will subsidize the air fare to Goose Bay and take care of accommodation costs there. If you are interested in going email me by Saturday, Jan. 28 at the latest!
Cheers

Members that paid for the full year in Fall 2011 will not have to pay an additional fee.
A grading fee will also be applied of $20 for teens and adults and $10 for children
Parking & Dojo Entrance Reminder
A reminder that when parking at the dojo to use parking starting the third row back from the Global Gym entrance. When entering the dojo always do so from the Elizabeth Avenue entrance.
Recruiting new members!
We are trying to grow the size of the club. Tell your friends about judo and see if you can interest them for January!
Reminder of end of fall semester schedule
Monday, December 12 will be the last judo class for children before Christmas. Teens and Senior members will continue to train until Thursday, Dec. 22 subject to confirmation by coaches. Judo training will resume after the Christmas holidays on Monday, January 9, 2012
Schedule change for Winter Semester
Kata will move to Thursday evening beginning at 6 PM. Other class times will remain the same.
Dojo renovations
Over Christmas and into January we will be painting the insulation on the walls, installing a sub-floor under the mats, installing coat hooks and a long bench to store coats and bags. By the end of January the dojo will be significantly upgraded.
Club Web Site
Reminder that information about our club is available on our web site at http://www.cs.mun.ca/~munjudo/
2011 has been a busy year for our club. On behalf of all the coaches I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for 2012!
