Faversham Invitation
FAVERSHAM Invitation Judo Championship
On Sunday I attended the Faversham Judo Club’s Invitation
Judo Championships, which attracted over 100 Judoka. The event was very well
run and I was particularly impressed with the standard of Dress of officials
All with Dark trousers, white shirt or blouse. Men wearing IBF Ties with
Faversham Judo Club embossed on them, this reminded me of the days when all IBF
Officials wore Blazers etc. and looked smart. Today it is difficult to get
Officials and most want to have casual dress. Miles Brown and has done a good
job in promoting Referees and this showed with many more probation referees
learning their trade at this competition and I was quite impressed with them.
Faversham have good support from all its members and parents and this paid
dividends when organising this tournament. Well done Trevor Davies George
Holbrook Sue Tanner Miles Brown and all those who helped
IBF Clubs have several Judo Comps for the Future, Faversham
Judo Club are running a major tournament later on in the year in a much bigger
Hall, Spitfire Judo Club will be organising a major event at the Burston Hotel
Folkestone and next year the IBF multination’s will be held at the same event.
Young Judo Club have 4 tournaments this year to be held at their Dojo in
Sittingbourne. There is also IBF Open in Holland in April anyone interested
should contact Colin Carrott.
The one thing we do need is Referees so if you are
interested in becoming a referee contact Miles Brown
Attending these competitions are always fun but when you
have your youngest grandson George entering his first big competition and
winning Gold it always makes the event better. I had intended retiring as IBF
UK President in 2 years time but I have been inundated with people asking me to
stay plus I feel I have still a lot to offer so my retirement will be put on
hold
