You may be aware that the EJU held a seminar in Malaga in January where further changes to the IJF contest rules were proposed.
 
We are just waiting for the BJA Board of Directors to approve the changes and the new rules will then be applied in BJA Competitions.
 
It's important that Referees, Coaches and Players are fully aware of the changes and what rules will be applied in 2014 before they are introduced.
 
To pass on this information, a short workshop has been arranged on Sunday 16th February at
 
Mirarmar Judo Club
The New Eastwood View
Fitzwilliam Road
Rotherham

All Y & H Referees and Coaches are invited to attend free of charge. Casual dress is acceptable - you will not need judogis or refereeing uniform! Just bring a notepad and pen.
 
The Workshop will start at 1.30pm prompt and finish about 3.30pm. Please ensure you arrive in good time.
 
If you need any further information, please don't hesitate to contact me.
