This event has been heralded as CELEBRATION of GRASS ROOTS JUDO. it was only the second time the Event has held at Sedburgh Liesure Centre which is a newly built facility close to site of the old Richard Dunn sports centre. The Event attracted hundreds of entires from over 40 clubs from all over the north of England allowing valuable competition experience for novices and intermediate judoka alike, playing an important roll in developing grass roots Judo throughout the north of England.
During the event a collection was held to help raise much needed funds for local charity Martin House Children’s Hospice and the very generous attendees helped raise over £100.
The Feedback about the Event has been so positive from just about everyone who attended, Ex GB International and now DNA Judo Head Coach Danny Harper commented-
“We had a wonderful day with lots of fighters from across our 3 academies who came together to form our competition squad on Sunday for the West Yorkshire Judo Development Event in Bradford.
The event was very well run in a fantastic facility. We would like to thank all the staff who were exceptional in instilling a friendly yet competitive atmosphere with an onus on learning & developing the judo of the competitors.
We will be back!”
The West Yorkshire Judo Committee would like to send out a massive THANK YOU to the organisers and volunteers who helped make the event the success it was and also to the players, coaches and parents who attended.
