Budokan Club registrations with Judo NSW dropped away earlier this year to between 180 and 190 which was a 2-year low but not surprising given the turbulent times we went through with COVID restrictions. As I write this Newsletter, we are happy to say that membership has crept back up to 206 but we are also aware that some club members have let their Judo NSW memberships lapse but are still active on the mat. This causes quite a risk for the club member and the club. We are trying to chase up everyone but this is a big job. Judo NSW registration fees are very reasonable at $50 per year for pre-school Mini-Kids registration (ie Dinos), $100 for Mons and Juniors, and $140 for Seniors (Cadets and older). Note that club training fees are separate to this. If you are unsure about your Judo NSW registration status or your club training fee status, please contact Kelly McPherson at kellymc80@optusnet.com.au or on 0408150333 or Rob Katz at katzfamily@iinet.net.au or on 0411409632 and we will advise on your membership and training fee status.
