WELCOME TO RJC CLUB NEWS 2020
Dear Members of Rochdale Judo Club, Parents and Youngsters
It's almost time to get back on the Judo mat!
Let's get the ifs and the buts out of the way first!
IF the Rochdale local lockdown has been released then we're back on the mat as soon as schools start back in September.
IF the Government doesn't introduce a national lockdown then we're ready for the off.
But will it be safe? RJC has followed British Judo and Government advice to the letter.
But why September? Because children are going back to school then and guidelines are in place to show the way back to Judo related exercise for Seniors and Juniors
.Our actual return to Judo opening week, for the Juniors, will be decided soon, depending on when we hear that Rochdale's lockdown has gone. Likewise, Seniors practice will resume on Wednesday 2nd September and Thursday 3rd September: all things being equal!
ANY Seniors questions please email Warren on wozmickjudo@gmail.com
ANY questions at all, Juniors please email Eddie at eddie@thomas49.co.uk
Do stay positive as we are only 3 weeks away!
Stay positive and stay safe and I look forward to seeing you all in just a few weeks’ time.
Yours in Judo
Warren Schofield 7th Dan L3 Coach and RJC Chairman

We have also raised, in this our 70th Anniversary Year, Membership Fees from £5 to £10. You will receive not only RJC Membership but also a badge for your Gi and an Anniversary Pen.
Do check out the other Notices below. There are some changes.
Membership Fees £10 per annum payable in January (includes badge for Gi and RJC pen)
Mid-year payment: Seniors full payment until September. After that advise Members to wait until January to pay membership fees
Juniors full payment until October. After October still take Membership but allow Membership period to last for just over a year until next Membership fee due date.

Please note
- decisions regarding judoka transfers from Tots to Nippers to Juniors and on to Senior sections are taken by the coaches in consultation with parents and judokas
- All children will be photographed for Club purposes at various times of the year. Please let us know if that is a problem.
- RJC Welfare Officer is Julie Gamson. If you have ANY concerns re the running of the Club or the treatment of your child, Julie is available on 07773 252337
