URGENT NOTICE TO ALL SHIRO NO JUDO MEMBERS

To all our members it is with great regret and sorrow that I have to announce the closure of our Gravesend Judo Club.
This has been one of the hardest decisions that I have had to make.
But due to work and family commitments I find I can no longer dedicate the time that is required to run this club.
The club has been running at a loss since we started back after COVID and has become financially unviable to keep going.
There is also the Uncertainty of Instructor’s cover for classes if I am on holiday or ill.
If you wish to continue judo with Shiro No Judo then we have a very good club at Snodland that has classes on a Tuesday Evenings.
I have also put a list of local clubs that you can contact if you so desire.
I know the instructors very well and am happy to contact them on your behalf should you wish to do so.
I would like to thank you for all your support over the years and wish you all the best in the future. It has been an honour to have met you all and have been your Judo instructor.
Kind Regards
Andrew T Hopkinson
Chairman and Senior club Coach
